Istanbul

Ferry crossings, pistachio layers and tables worth lingering over

I follow Istanbul through its markets, bakeries and neighbourhood kitchens. This three-day escape leaves room for ferry tea and a long lunch.

A taste of what's inside

Çiya Sofrası, Kadıköy. Order stuffed dried aubergines and a regional stew from the daily counter.

Karaköy Güllüoğlu, Karaköy. Order pistachio baklava with kaymak and Turkish tea.

Plus my Galata waterfront walk, thoughtful gifts and special-occasion tables.
