    Kavaklidere winery had been initiated by leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Akyurt Ankara Turkey in 1930s and they are successful in lots of shops of EU countries. Turkey has at least 25 winery companies producing in Turkey locally especially in Capadoccia and in Manisa, Izmir. Mustafa Kemal loved to drink alcohol every night, smoke 7 packets of cigarettes and drank 8 small cups of turkish coffe which had made him strong in body type, very slim even at age 56 years old, always wore tie and formal suits during the daytime.

    is generally agreed among historians that yogurt and other fermented milk products were discovered accidentally as a result of milk being stored by primitive methods in warm climates.
    The word “yoğurt” is Turkish in origin.
    Most historical accounts attribute yogurt to the Neolithic peoples of Central Asia around 6000 B.C.. Herdsmen began the practice of milking their animals, and the natural enzymes in the carrying containers (animal stomachs) curdled the milk, essentially making yogurt. Not only did the milk then keep longer, it is thought that people preferred the taste so continued the practice, which then evolved over centuries into commercial yogurt making.
    Recorded history states that Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, and his armies lived on yogurt.
    It wasn’t long before word of the perceived health benefits of yogurt traveled through to other peoples, and the consumption spread throughout the East.
    The first industrialized production of yogurt is attributed to Isaac Carasso in 1919 in Barcelona - his company “Danone” was named for his son, “Little Daniel”.
    Turkish immigrants brought yogurt to North America in the 1700s but it really didn’t catch on until the 1940s when Daniel Carasso, the son of Danone founder Isaac, and Juan Metzger took over a small yogurt factory in the Bronx, New York - the company is now called Dannon in the United States.
    Yogurt with fruit on the bottom was first introduced in 1947 by Dannon.
    The popularity of yogurt soared in the 50s and 60s with the boom of the health food culture and is now available in many varieties to suit every taste and lifestyle.

    If you are looking for thicker yoghurt, ask for "süzme yoğurt" (filtered for the water). There is no water in it at all, it is kind of sour but most suitable for meze.

    Although there are less "runnier" yogurts; there is white cheese in that garlic yogurt meze. The one called Ezine at 6:05 will do. You just mash it and mix it with yogurt. Apart from that, all looks genuine. :D

    That parking lot must be a bazaar. However on specific days, 1-2 days per week. Turkish wines are one of best actually, however government has been trying to prevent wine business. That is one reason they sold Turkish Rakı and beer brands (Efes), and they tripled the taxes. Today alcohol is a luxury in Turkey.

    The market moved back to its original location in Hasanpaşa. The car park was just temporary... Well, for many years, actually. 😉
    If you are in search for a great small beach, head to the Caddebostan Plaj.
    Upscale shopping and dining around Bağdat Avenue (Caddebostan to Suadiye area). There you may also find one of the smallest mosques from the 1920s.
    Best coffee places and bars in the Moda district. Look out for the Köşks (historic wooden houses), churches and the gorgeous Opera House. Kadiköy is the best.
    If you want to impress your parents with a great breakfast, head to Polonez Köy (Polish village) on a Sunday!

      @@TravelBeans you are welcome. I did like Yeji Dohoda several years ago. On the way back I also recommend visiting one of the not so well known summer palaces: The Beykoz Mecidiye Kasrı. Nearby you can also find Beykoz Kundura, an old shoe factory from the Ottoman times, which is now used as film set and cutural center. Call if the café at the waterfront is open. Further on, when heading back to Kadiköy along the Bosporus, have lunch in Çengelköy and hop of in Kuzguncuk to have a look at the colorful historic houses (Instagram heaven).

    Yoğurt is Turkish but we don’t go round making a big deal about it. Maybe we should, as Greeks are very good at stealing other people inventions. They even have Greek delight 😳. Greeks also tried to make a claim on Dolma (meal made using vine leafs) , Baklava ( discovered in a town called Gaziantep in eastern Turkey). Even some Turkish music was claimed by them. Yoğurt And dolma are Turkish words and so is doner. When I visited Bosnia, I have ordered dolma from a restaurant there. The owner without realising I was Turkish, told me they have learn to make dolma from the Turks. It was nice to know that ,they’re people out there,who don’t make a claim on other people’s cultural heritage,but happy to share and enjoy.

    The word yogurt is from Turkish yoğurt, which means "fermented milk" and refers to the method of it's production. But the greeks repräsented it to the World as if it was their own so we always have problems with greeks because they always claim Turkish national food as their own like cacık or Baklava and name it similar to the original name in turkish and ad some leters to the end like "i" to make it sound greek and a cacık turns to "zatziki".
