Can I Eat in Istanbul for $25 a Day? | 2025 Food Challenge

In this video, I take on the challenge and track every lira spent to see how much real Turkish food you can get without going over budget. From a filling börek breakfast to street snacks and a proper kebab dinner, every meal comes with tough decisions. Spend too much early, and you might miss out later. I also compare prices between tourist areas and local spots to show what it really costs to eat in Istanbul in 2025. Watch until the end to see the final tally and whether this budget food challenge is actually worth it. #Istanbul #Turkey #TurkishFood #TravelChallenge #BudgetTravel #TravelTips #Foodie #Türkiye Chapters: 00:00 – The $25 Istanbul Food Challenge Begins 00:18 – Breakfast: Turkish Börek & Tea 01:56 – Surprise Stop: Pickle Juice 02:30 – Turkish Coffee Break 02:56 – Deciding on Lunch 03:49 – Eating Pide (Turkish Pizza) 04:38 – Walking to Eminönü 05:01 – Ottoman Candy 05:16 – Crossing Galata Bridge 05:38 – Dinner: Legendary Cağ Kebab 07:24 – Sweet: Carrot Baklava & Tea 07:37 – Budget Finished Restaurant Locations: Çiçek Börek: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ViAejKiKvQwK7KgaA Pickles Shop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/q8fqVCmqgjjBSHkP8 Turkish Coffee: https://maps.app.goo.gl/93X7sQ3fwxY5jYEW8 Pide Place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TibhWfcZgsabodhW7 Cag Kebab: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6FxcXRv9BnN6zj1u7 Dessert Shop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ANzrVLJb56tUEfoB8 Looking for help with booking a tour, planning a trip, or coming to Turkey for medical tourism?
