As Locals Do
Three days eating and drinking the way Ankara locals really do — markets, family flavours, long lunches and evening drinks, far from the tourist traps.
Instead of meddling around the tourist traps, As Locals Do is about experiencing what Ankara locals actually eat and drink. Over three days you taste the city the Ankara way — the everyday food and drink that locals genuinely love.
Every transfer is taken care of: we collect you from the airport or train station, get you to your accommodation and to each stop, and drop you back at the end. All you bring is an appetite.
