Where to eat after the ferry

Cumhuriyet Boulevard is a few minutes from the pier. The real question is a different one: how much time do you have?

Where to eat after the ferry

Measure the time first

Most people stepping off the ferry are either carrying on down the road or staying in town. The choice starts there: sitting down to eat takes at least forty-five minutes, something on your feet is done in fifteen.

If you have fifteen minutes

Dürüm, tombik or half-bread döner. Rolled in warm lavaş, eaten in the hand, finished while walking. The 60 g portions exist for exactly this: they fill you without weighing you down.

Lahmacun is fast too — it comes out of the oven in under a minute.

If you have an hour

You can sit down to pide or kebab. Pide takes about fifteen minutes because it is stretched after you order; kebab takes about the same on the grill. The places in the centre are walking distance from the pier.

If you are eating on the road

If you are getting back in the car, dürüm and tombik are the most practical: no sauce running, easy to hold. Take an ayran with it; a fizzy drink sits heavy on the road.
