Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in winter the temperature can drop below zero.
An appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner. Usually, an appetizer is a small serving of food â just a few bites â meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people.
We were late for our reservation but we're still seated as soon as we arrived. Our waiter, Chris, greeted us and had our cocktails to us in 5 minutes - he was a true pleasure the entire visit. The hummus appetizer was the perfect light start to the evening. The main course, however, stole the show.
