Woke up shortly before 6am which is not bad. I had sent a colleague a note on Linkedin who I know is from Turkey originally, and he sent back an amazing list of things to try.

Kerem’s Istanbul Recommendations

Fresh Simit is definitely one of the things I’m looking forward to. From the recommendations, Turkish meatballs, baklava, kebabs, Istavrit fried fish, the Balat neighbourhood, and Kumpir baked potato.
