Travel can be everything from going on museum tours or climbing a mountain to indulging in the luxuries of a hotel, sunbathing on a gorgeous strip of sugary sand and partying until dawn at mega-clubs. Wherever you are in the world, there’s one thing that brings all types of travelers together, and that is the need to eat. The delights that come from sampling exotic and traditional flavors become ever more mystical when combined with vacations.

Maiden’s Tower has always been one of the most charming tourist attractions of Bosphorus. Although the tower is being used as a restaurant nowadays, it has had many different functions throughout the history. Firstly used as a castle, it was used as a tower by Manuel Komnenos in the 12th century. Then, the tower became a quarantine house in a cholera epidemic. Ottomans used it as a lighthouse and later a radar station in 1959 for Turkish navy. It was even used as a place for exile. Today you can visit it every day and enjoy the beautiful view of the Marmara sea.

Food and Culinary Walking Tour of Istanbul

Custom-designed private journeys for those seeking the exceptional. We are the expert in luxury, bespoke trips to Istanbul. Each tour is carefully designed and crafted to provide a relaxed half a day or a full day of entertaining and informative sightseeing. They are also truly luxurious because we serve only one client at a time never grouping strangers together.
Looking for a special activity for your company, family or friends? Our 4-Hour private Istanbul food tour will take you off the beaten path and immerse you in local history and culture. Walk with one of our expert guides as you spoil yourself by strolling through open-air markets, stepping into one of Istanbul’s most famous delicatessens, and having beverages along with food samples that vary according to the time and season.
Firstly, your local private guide will take you to a delightful little cafe in the famous Beyoglu vicinity to soak up the atmosphere and taste Turkish coffee. We will then walk to famous Nevizade where you are going to taste Cig Kofte, stuffed or fried mussels - if you are feeling adventurous maybe have Kokorec (spiced offal wrapped in lamb's intestine). Then we have our lunch/dinner at one of the Ocakbasi Kebab restaurant.  A Turkish food tour would not be complete without sampling Turkish desserts. And of course, there are our delicious secret dishes, too.  Please note: the itinerary is subject to change, based on the location's availability and weather.

The World Heritage Committee, meeting in Manama since 24 June under the chair of Shaikha Haya Bint Rashed al-Khalifa of Bahrain, inscribed two cultural sites in Germany and Turkey as well as two mixed (i.e. both cultural and natural) sites in Canada and Colombia, on the World Heritage List this afternoon. The inscription of sites will continue on 2 July.
The new World Heritage sites, in order of inscription, are:
Cultural sites:
Göbekli Tepe (Turkey) – Located in the Germuş mountains of south-eastern Anatolia, this site presents monumental circular and rectangular megalithic structures, interpreted as enclosures, which were erected by hunter-gatherers in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic age between 9,600 and 8,200 BC. It is likely that these monuments were used in connection with rituals, probably of a funerary nature. Distinctive T-shaped pillars are carved with images of wild animals, providing insight into the way of life and beliefs of people living in Upper Mesopotamia about 11,500 years ago.
Naumburg Cathedral (Germany) – Located in the eastern part of the Thuringian Basin, the Cathedral of Naumburg, whose construction began in 1028, is an outstanding testimony to medieval art and architecture. Its Romanesque structure, flanked by two Gothic choirs, demonstrates the stylistic transition from late Romanesque to early Gothic. The west choir, dating to the first half of the 13th century reflects changes in religious practice and the appearance of science and nature in the figurative arts. The choir and life-size sculptures of the founders of the Cathedral are masterpieces of the workshop known as the “Naumburg Master”.
Mixed sites:
Pimachiowin Aki (Canada) – Pimachiowin Aki (“The Land That Gives Life”) is a forest landscape crossed by rivers and studded with lakes, wetlands, and boreal forest. It forms part of the ancestral home of the Anishinaabeg, an indigenous people living from fishing, hunting, and gathering. The area encompasses the traditional lands of four Anishinaabeg communities (Bloodvein River, Little Grand Rapids, Pauingassi and Poplar River). It is an exceptional example of the cultural tradition of Ji-ganawendamang Gidakiiminaan (“keeping the land”) which consists of honoring the gifts of the Creator, respecting all forms of life and maintaining harmonious relations with others. A complex network of livelihood sites, habitation sites, travel routes and ceremonial sites, often linked by waterways, embodies this tradition.
Chiribiquete National Park – “The Maloca of the Jaguar” (Colombia) – Located in the north-west Colombian Amazon, Chiribiquete National Park is the largest protected area in the country. One of the defining features of the park is the presence of tepuis (the Native American word for table-top mountains), sheer-sided sandstone plateaux that dominate the forest. Over 75,000 paintings, spanning more than 20,000 years to the present, are to be seen on the walls of the 60 rock shelters around the bases of the tepuis. Believed to be linked to the worship of the jaguar, a symbol of power and fertility, these paintings depict hunting scenes, battles, dances, and ceremonies. The indigenous communities, which are not directly present on the site, consider the region sacred.
