If you’ve never tried Turkish cuisine then a holiday in Gumbet is the perfect opportunity to do so. Turkish food is really very tasty and has many similarities to Greek food, if you’ve ever tried that. If you’ve come on holiday in Gumbet with a good appetite Turkish food is usually served in generous portions. Start your meal with a mixed meze – this is a starter that consists of tasters of several different dishes. Mezes often include at least a couple of vegetable based dishes, and things like stuffed vine leaves, aubergine, and olives, served with plenty of fresh bread.

 

It’s easy to get full up on meze alone, so make sure you leave plenty of room for your main course. Being on the Aegean Sea, seafood and fish are popular dishes, and usually of a very high quality. Try things like calamari and octopus, and a variety of freshly caught fish.

 

For meat lovers Turkish cuisine is ideal. Lamb and chicken dishes are common, whether they’re cooked like casseroles or as kebabs. A traditional way of cooking in the Aegean region is in a sealed clay pot which is then brought to the table and cracked open. This is called guvec.
