    @@kayesisslemczeal4547 Istanbul is pretty chaotic and crowded, especially at the summer where there are a lot of tourists coming in. If you want to give Turkey a visit I suggest coming as winter, also exploring different parts of the country. Turkey's huge and full of stuff to see and Istanbul is just the surface. As for food, I can't really give you a specific example as our cuisine is very rich and varied. Basically, try every food item you see lol.
