After solo performance of Wine, real festival will start with the taste of Turkish Meze’s (appetizers) Spicy’s from Anatolia and Olive oily’s from Aegean Coast. After this little welcome, warm greetings continue with Turkish kebabs, Tandoor from Central Anatolia, Adana & Shish kebab from Mediterranean coast, Eggplant & Urfa kebabs from Eastern Anatolia then, royal family come out and just like praising the word “Harem”, means secret, Ottoman food comes out with indescribable tastes.
