In the evening, we take you to Kumkapı, one of Istanbul’s oldest and most vibrant tavern districts. As you walk through the narrow streets, you will hear the sounds of live music, clinking glasses, and joyful laughter filling the air.

Every restaurant is decorated for the New Year, glowing with warm lights and welcoming energy.
Inside the traditional taverns, the tables are covered with:
Colorful mezes, served one after another
Fresh seafood
Hot starters
Endless flavors unique to Turkish cuisine
The atmosphere becomes even livelier as musicians stroll from table to table, playing Turkish folk songs and inviting guests to join the rhythm.
Raise a glass of Rakı, enjoy friendly conversations, and feel the true meaning of muhabbet—the warm, sincere connection shared around the table.
As midnight approaches, the streets come alive with celebration. People dance, cheer, and welcome the New Year together in a festive, unforgettable scene that only Kumkapı can offer.
