What to look for on the menu

Ask about mürdümük çorbası, a traditional local pulse soup. For dessert, try bademli incir, figs stuffed with almonds and baked. It is an especially good way to taste one of the peninsula’s signature crops.

Working out the bill

When choosing fish, ask whether it is priced by the kilo or by the portion. Check the weight of your fish and the prices of meze before ordering. In a market, compare prices by weight across different pack sizes.
