After an early morning coffee or tea for early birds, a day aboard starts with a rich Turkish breakfast consisting of slices of cucumber and tomato, assorted cheeses and sausages, a variety of egg dishes, green and black olives, honey, jam, butter and bread. Additionally there are cereals, yogurt and fresh fruit . The traditional breakfast drink is black Turkish tea but freshly brewed filter coffee, milk and herbal teas are served as well.

Light dishes of traditional Turkish cuisine, prepared with fresh local vegetables and olive oil are served for lunch: Fresh green beens, peppers stuffed with savory rice, ocras with tomatoes, pinto beans, aubergines stuffed with vegetables or minced meat, casseroles or boreks (Turkish pastry) accompanied by refreshing yogurts with mint and garlic, savory pilavs, crispy salads and fresh fruit.

Even if you are not hungry in the afternoon, cakes, pies, pastries and cookies that are served at tea time are simply irresistible.

In the evening the chefs prepare fabulous dinners commencing with the famous Turkish meze (starters) like salads of aubergine, courgette or carrot with garlic yogurt, purslane or samphire drizzled with a sauce of garlic and lemon, zucchini fritters, pastry rolls, shrimp cocktail, octopus salad. Main courses are prepared with either meat (beef, lamb, or chicken) or seafood (for example seabream, seabass, sword fish, calamari, king prawns) either from the BBQ or the oven, accompanied by aromatic side dishes and crispy salads and followed by either fresh fruit or desserts like rice pudding, almond cream or the famous baklava (a pastry filled with nuts)

As a matter of course the chefs aboard our gulets will make every effort to accommodate any dietary restrictions and to fulfill special menu requests according to personal preferences.
