If you\u2019re anything like me \u2014 someone who travels to eat \u2014 I\u2019m guessing your travel wish list is filled with top culinary hotspots. Maybe you\u2019re dreaming of making a gastronomic pilgrimage to Naples in search of the perfect pizza or feasting on flavor-packed street food in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries like Italy and Thailand will make all of your wildest culinary dreams come true, but I\u2019m here to tell you why you need to take your taste buds on a trip to three more fascinating (and completely underrated) foodie destinations: Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these countries has its own deliciously distinct cuisine, and if you visit them all in one go, you\u2019ll find yourself in the ultimate foodie heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve let classic, mainstream destinations shape your travels up to this point, now\u2019s your chance to do something different! Lucky for you, we\u2019re teaming up with Fez Travel<\/a> to cover all the reasons why you need to consider Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan for your next holiday. (Your taste buds won\u2019t regret it \u2014 we promise!)<\/p>\n\n\n

Travel to: <\/em>Turkey & the Caucasus with Fez Travel <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Turkey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With landscapes that range from towering mountains to idyllic coastlines and vibrant cities, Turkey is a place that truly has it all. It\u2019s tough to decide where to travel within this bewitching country, but one place you certainly can\u2019t miss is Istanbul \u2014 and thankfully, it\u2019s incredibly easy to work up an appetite in this sprawling metropolis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start by scoping out the city’s most magnificent architectural masterpieces \u2014 Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque \u2014 and then head underground to explore the Basilica Cistern, a breathtaking subterranean structure that dates back to 532.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all that sightseeing you\u2019ll be more than ready to tuck into the country\u2019s fresh and flavoursome dishes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you\u2019ll love Turkish cuisine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you think of Turkish food, your mind probably conjures an image of kebabs or baklava, but this country\u2019s cuisine goes far beyond charcoal-grilled meats and decadent sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given its east-meets-west location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, it\u2019s no surprise that Turkish cuisine is incredibly diverse. Whenever you tuck into a meal here, you\u2019ll notice a combination of flavors and influences from several neighboring regions, including the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Balkans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three dishes you need to try in Turkey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Manti<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Manti<\/em> is almost like a Turkish version of ravioli \u2014 and it\u2019s just as delicious as its much-loved Italian counterpart. Consisting of tiny beef-stuffed dumplings drizzled with garlicky yogurt and topped with melted butter and sumac, this dish seamlessly blends a whole host of contrasting flavours and textures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combination of melt-in-your-mouth dumplings, creamy yogurt sauce, and aromatic spices is divine and surprisingly irresistible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Turkish breakfast<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Forget bagels and cereal \u2014 Turkey takes breakfast to a whole new level. A typical kahvalti <\/em>(AKA Turkish breakfast) spread typically includes a smorgasbord of small sharing dishes that are all delicious in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the food may vary depending by region, there are a few staples that almost always make the cut: beyaz peynir<\/em> (a white sheep\u2019s milk cheese), simit <\/em>(doughy, sesame-seed-coated rings), and menemen <\/em>(scrambled eggs with bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions), along with lashings of fresh butter, honey, jams, and preserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Lahmacun<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, lahmacun<\/em> looks a bit like Turkish-style pizza, but it\u2019s actually flatbread topped with a layer of minced meat, tomatoes, onions, and flavor-packed herbs like parsley and cumin. Before you eat it, remember to top it with salad and a squeeze of lemon (both of which are served on the side), roll it up like a burrito, and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Georgia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Food is a major highlight when you travel to Georgia, but there are so many other compelling reasons to visit this emerging destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter where you travel \u2014 whether it\u2019s Tbilisi, Kutaisi,<\/strong> or Mtskheta \u2014 you\u2019ll find yourself constantly in awe of the country\u2019s striking mountainous landscapes, medieval monasteries, and phenomenally hospitable locals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, Georgia is an incredibly budget-friendly destination, so you can eat to your heart\u2019s content without breaking the bank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you\u2019ll love Georgian cuisine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Much like Turkey, Georgian cuisine brilliantly fuses both Eastern and Western flavors, drawing influences from the Greeks, Turks, Arabs, and Mongols. Most dishes are on the heavy side; bread and cheese are two mainstays of Georgian cuisine, along with hallmark ingredients like walnuts, cilantro, and pomegranate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting down for a meal here is more than just a necessity \u2014 it\u2019s a lengthy, sit-down affair with hearty dishes that are made for sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three dishes you need to try in Georgia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Adjaruli Khachapuri<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Adjaruli khachapuri<\/em> \u2014 one of the country\u2019s staple dishes \u2014 is, quite possibly, the best comfort food you\u2019ve never had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This savoury pastry is shaped like a boat, stuffed with melted cheese, and topped with a freshly cracked egg and a generous helping of butter. When the warm, bubbling mass is placed in front of you, that\u2019s your cue to mix everything together, tear off a corner of the bread, and dunk it into the ultra-decadent cheese-egg-butter mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Khinkali<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Khinkali<\/em>, or Georgian soup dumplings, are ubiquitous across the country \u2014 and once you taste one, you\u2019ll understand why. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These hearty balls of dough are stuffed with meat (usually pork or beef) and boiled until they\u2019re soft and pillowy. The meaty filling produces a rich broth once they\u2019re fully cooked, so every bite delivers a hit of juicy, savoury goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to eat khinkali<\/em> like a local, grab the dumpling by its topknot with your fingers, bite a small hole into the side, and slurp out the broth. Then, devour the rest of the dumpling and repeat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Shkmeruli<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Shkmeruli only has a handful of ingredients, but don\u2019t let that fool you \u2014 even the most simple dishes in Georgia will blow you away with their outrageously delicious flavours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This garlic-heavy meal is made with crispy browned chicken slow-cooked in milk and \u2014 you guessed it \u2014 lots and lots of garlic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azerbaijan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intriguing history, untouched natural wonders, ultra-modern architecture, and grand palaces \u2014 you\u2019ll find all this and so much more in Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no shortage of impressive attractions in this country, and yet, it\u2019s still somehow overlooked by so many travelers. Once you visit, you\u2019ll start asking yourself the same question every visitor has when they arrive in Azerbaijan: why isn\u2019t this place packed with tourists?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you\u2019ll love Azerbaijani cuisine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Commanding a significant location along Silk Road routes and boasting a culinary heritage that dates back more than 2,000 years, food in Azerbaijan pays homage to the traders that passed through this region for centuries. Whenever you sit down for a meal here, you\u2019re essentially taking a big bite out of the country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some similarities between Azerbaijani cuisine and the country\u2019s Caucasus neighbors, but Azerbaijani food manages to stay steadfastly true to itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three dishes you need to try in Azerbaijan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Plov<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the most famous Azerbaijani staples is plov<\/em>, saffron-flavored rice cooked with dried fruits, nuts, and aromatic herbs \u2014 everything from cinnamon to apricots, dates or chestnuts. The rice is typically served with meats like mutton and lamb as well, which are two of the most common flavor combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Qutab<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Made with lavash<\/em> (a thin flatbread), qutab<\/em> is a thick, savory pancake that\u2019s filled with minced meat, cheese, or vegetables, along with spices like cilantro and sumac. Once assembled, it\u2019s folded into a moon shape and fried on a flat pan until the centre is soft and the edges are golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Baliq<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you love seafood, you\u2019ll love baliq<\/em>! Fresh sturgeon from the Caspian Sea is grilled on a skewer and served with a sour plum sauce. It may sound simple but it\u2019s remarkably delicious; the fish is marinated with lemon, dill, and salt \u2014 a combination that amplifies all the flavors and creates a perfectly crispy finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, food is only one of many <\/em>reasons to visit these three countries. Along with all the unbelievably delicious eats mentioned above, a trip to this region promises jaw-dropping scenery, ancient architectural wonders, and extraordinary sights galore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, since Georgia and Azerbaijan are still flying relatively under the radar, you can leave the tourist crowds behind and explore these up-and-coming destinations before the rest of the world gets there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
