VEGAN TRAVELLERS IN TURKEY

WHAT TO DO IN TURKEY

Turkey, known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and flavorful cuisine, is increasingly accommodating to vegan travelers. Istanbul, a city that bridges Europe and Asia, has a growing vegan scene. Popular spots like “Bi Nevi Deli” and “Community Kitchen” serve plant-based versions of Turkish and international dishes, making it easy to explore landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and Grand Bazaar with vegan-friendly options nearby.

In Izmir, a coastal city known for its relaxed vibe and beautiful seaside views, travelers can find vegan-friendly dining at places like “Yüzde Yüz” and “Köy.” These restaurants offer vegan twists on Turkish classics, allowing you to experience local flavors. Cappadocia, famous for its unique rock formations and hot air balloon rides, may have fewer dedicated vegan restaurants, but you’ll find vegan-friendly options at local establishments, especially vegetable-based dishes.

Turkey’s traditional cuisine includes several plant-based dishes like dolma (stuffed grape leaves), mercimek çorbası (lentil soup), and various mezes that are naturally vegan. In rural areas, grocery stores and local markets provide fresh produce, grains, and legumes, which are staples of the Turkish diet. With a bit of planning, Turkey offers vegan travelers a mix of culture, history, and delicious food.
