We arrived in Istanbul, and two buses later settled into our AirBnB by the domestic airport. A short walk to dinner, where we ate iskender at ‘baydöner’. We tried to order one 1.5 portion but miscommunication got us TWO 1.5 portions of amazing thin doner over chopped bread with a red tomato sauce on top which THEN also had hot frothy spiced oil poured over the top.
For dessert, we had knefe (sp?) a birds nest pastry, very sweet with cheese at the middle and heavy whipped cream + pistachios on top.
Then next morning we got up at 3am to get to the airport and start our cruise around the Turkish Riviera!
Talk to you in three days cause we’ll be completely off the grid!

Going to follow you on my new atlas! Yeah!!
Did you both eat all of your 1.5 order? What’s “doner “? And you had room for desert. I am mighty impressed!
Doner is the kind of meat, and while Grant almost finished his, I could only eat about half my plate and was shamed by the waiters.
But I always have a second stomach for dessert!
