Turkey is one of the world’s most prolific countries when it comes to holding festivals. This is great news if you’re booking flights to Turkey, as you’ll have a lot of flexibility with timing. The oldest festival in Turkey is the Izmir World Fair in early September each year. It has multiple themes, with funfairs, arts, music and culture rubbing shoulders with a commercial fair. This is also perhaps the most popular festival in the country. Many of the other festivals take the form of religious ceremonies, typically closed to those of a different faith, but some aspects of them are open to the public. Two of these are the Seker Festival and the Kurban Festival. These occur on the third and fourth days after Ramadan, respectively. Seker Bayrami, the Sugar Holiday, is the first and most popular, so it’s recommended you make restaurant reservations well in advance. After that comes Kurban Bayrami, when lamb and goat’s meat is traditionally eaten. There are also numerous traditional cultural and dance festivals at various times of the year, and you can also attend bouts of the ancient sport of camel wrestling (they wrestle each other, in case you’re wondering).

Döner kebap is the national dish of Turkey. It’s not actually a kebab, having far more in common with a shawarma. A vertical spit roasts stacked fillets of meat, from which thin slices are cut and served on their own, or with different types of Turkish bread: on flat bread (known as dürüm), inserted into slices of Turkish bread (döner sandviç), or mixed with diced bread with sauce over it. The other most traditional food you’ll find is Turkish köfte, which is similar to the Greek dish, made from ground meat mixed with bread crumbs. You can eat this in many ways – with a savoury sauce, in a stew or on a skewer. The town of Bursa is the best place to eat this dish. Otherwise you can sample these traditional foods simply by stopping at one of the many hazir yemek (ready food) stalls in the cities. Other street food includes kumpir, a crispy baked potato with a stuffing of your choice. You’re most likely to find it sold in the food markets in Istanbul. You should also take the opportunity to taste Turkish pizza, known as pide. It’s made in the same way, but toppings are generally richer, sometimes even extending to meat and vegetable stew.
