Food & culture in Türkiye

Taste

Food and drink this place is known for.

BaklavaFood · National
A tradition found across the country, not tied to one exact place. Baklava combines layers of filo pastry with nuts and syrup in Turkish cuisine.
Turkish teaDrink · National
A tradition found across the country, not tied to one exact place. Black tea served hot in a slender, tulip-shaped glass is central to daily hospitality across Türkiye. UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity inscribes the culture of çay, in a joint listing with Azerbaijan, so this entry does not claim tea culture as unique to Türkiye — only that this listing documents it as part of Turkish culture.

Understand

Traditions and landscapes that explain the place.

Black Sea highland pasturesCultural landscape · Regional
Associated with Eastern Black Sea: Rize and Artvin. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. High summer pastures, or yaylas, in the mountains behind the eastern Black Sea coast, among spruce and fir forest. Türkiye's official tourism portal describes these highlands as the summer pastures local communities have used for centuries, on a route from Rize to Artvin, and Rize's provincial culture and tourism directorate puts highland life between early June and the first week of September.
Library of CelsusArchitecture · Regional
Associated with Ephesus, Selçuk. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. The ornate two-storey facade of a Roman-era library, one of the monuments of the ancient city of Ephesus near Selçuk. Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism names the Library of Celsus among the structures of the Ephesus archaeological site. This illustration is not a place pin: Ephesus's own published record covers the whole excavated city, not this one building.
Fairy chimneysCultural landscape · Regional
Associated with Cappadocia. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. Tall, narrow rock formations carved from volcanic ash by centuries of erosion, some hollowed into dwellings. Türkiye's official tourism portal describes the windswept valleys of Cappadocia's carved rock mesas as looking transported from the moon.
Safranbolu Ottoman housesArchitecture · Regional
Associated with Safranbolu. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. Timber-framed Ottoman houses with a stone ground floor and overhanging upper storeys, the building type that earned Safranbolu's old quarters UNESCO World Heritage status. Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism describes the town's large wood-and-stucco houses built by its wealthy Ottoman-era inhabitants.
Istanbul's waterfrontCultural landscape · Regional
Associated with Istanbul. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. A city built around water: UNESCO describes Istanbul's historic peninsula as bounded by the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara, with a skyline shaped by Byzantine and Ottoman architects. Şehir Hatları runs public sea transport on the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn and out to the Princes' Islands. The mosque and ferry in this illustration are generic, not a portrait of any one building or boat.
Pamukkale travertinesCultural landscape · Regional
Associated with Pamukkale, Denizli province. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. Cascading white terraces of mineral-rich hot-spring water in Denizli province, known in Turkish as "Cotton Castle". No XTOUR destination near Pamukkale is published yet, so this stays discoverable country-wide rather than tied to one destination view.
Sumela MonasteryCultural landscape · Regional
Associated with Maçka, Trabzon province. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. A monastery built into a near-vertical cliff face in the Pontic Mountains south of Trabzon. Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism places it almost 1,200 metres above sea level, on a slope steep enough to be described as almost vertical.

Kilim weavingCraft · National
Associated with Anatolia. Shown here for context, not as an exact location on the map. A flat-woven rug, usually colourful and patterned. Türkiye's Ministry of Culture and Tourism describes the kilim as one of Anatolia's traditional handicrafts, made with the flat-weave technique, with weaves, patterns and colour palettes that differ between Türkiye's regions. A study in the state cultural journal Arış discusses the abstract and geometric forms of Anatolian kilim motifs.
