Nightlife in Turkey ; Turkey is a Mediterranean country
with a lively culture of eating,
drinking, and entertainment, with
nightlife and eating-out possibilities
to suit every preference. During the
summer months, al fresco dining is the
norm, particularly along the coastal
areas and along the Bosphorus in
Istanbul.
Turkish nightlife has traditionally
centred around meyhanes, similar to
taverns, where an assortment of mezes (small
plates or appetizers), often followed by
a meal of fish, is consumed with rounds
of raki, the aniseed-flavoured national
spirit. Still extremely popular with all
ages, the meyhane is a social affair,
where dining and drinking is often
accompanied by live music played on
traditional instruments.
A great way to explore Turkeys culture
is through its music. The big cities
attract both well-known and up-and-coming
musicians, DJs and performers from
around the world and music festivals are
now a popular feature of the summer
months, ranging from hard rock and
classical to electronic and jazz.
Traditional music is also still popular
in Turkey, ranging from Anatolian folk
music to Turkish-style classical music
to lively, Balkan-influenced fasil
music, and experiencing it live is the
most enjoyable way to hear it.
The drinking scene is as diverse as the
music scene, with options ranging from
low-key bars to trendy clubs featuring
local as well as international DJs. In
the summer, especially in the coastal
areas, many of these venues are water-side
and open-air, allowing revellers to
party under the stars.
Istanbul is one of the worlds hottest
city-break destinations, in part due to
its nightlife. Many of the hip new
hangouts, chic restaurants and rooftop
bars are all a stones-throw from the
energetic Istiklal Caddesi in Taksim and
nearby Tunel, as well as many dotted
along the Bosphorus; enjoy sophisticated
cocktail-sipping in trendy bars to
clubbing all night to global beats. In
the summer, Istanbul also revels in
water-side fun, with plenty of open-air
entertainment against the stunning
backdrop of the Istanbul skyline.
