Itinerary

Step into the heart of Istanbul’s Ramadan traditions with a unique opportunity to experience an authentic family-style dinner during this special time of year. As the city comes alive with the spirit of Ramadan, you can join a local Turkish family to share in a warm, welcoming evening of delicious food, meaningful conversation, and cultural discovery. If you're curious about the full Ramadan experience, why not try fasting alongside us? As the call to prayer echoes through the city, you’ll break your fast with a delightful spread of traditional Turkish dishes, while immersing yourself in the warmth of a local family’s hospitality. This is more than just a meal—it's an invitation to connect with the spirit of Ramadan in Istanbul, where the centuries-old traditions blend with modern-day life. And we will get the opportunity to know you, your culture, and traditions. So, we will feel the Ramadan spirit together and share in the most warm atmosphere possible.

Meeting point and pickup

Meeting point

Istanbul has traffic issue. I suggest you use metro, ferry as much as you can. Instructions to the address for public transportation is written on tickets.

Using your ticket

If you are coming from the old town (Sultanahmet, Hagiasophia, Grandbazaar, Eminönü);

I would suggest to take the tram to Kabataş. From Kabataş, you can either take a taxi or bus, or even walk for 25 minutes. This would be a nice walk.

Once you are at Selamlık Street, look for number 21, Evim Apt. It is a bit above the car park, the gate of the building is right across Abbasaga Mosque. You can ring the bell on the left side, number 6. After that, you will walk up one floor.
