Coffee is a national drink of Turkey that has a long historical tradition starting from when the Ottomans brought the first coffee beans to Istanbul in 1519. The tour begins with a “Coffee Route” – where we will have coffee tasting in historical venues passing tiny streets, historical walkways, intriguing old bazaars and Ottoman coffee storages.
