As the crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey has long been in the unique position of bridging the gap between East and West. . In March, guests learned about Turkish coffee, prepared by boiling very finely powdered roast beans in a small pot. In April, guests enjoyed mantı, a delectable hand-made stuffed ravioli dish that is covered with yogurt and spices. In May, guests will discover Istanbul, the fourth-largest city in the world, and a colorful kaleidoscope of European and Asian food, music and history.
