Would you like to know the scope of beverages available in Turkey? Wine? Beer? Soft drinks? We have them all, but there are other drinks, with which you may not be so well acquainted, and with which you will need to become acquainted if you’re going to have a proper experience. Gulet charter.
In Turkey, the unofficial national drink is still “raki” and in Greece, the unofficial national drink is still “Ouzo” – although according to who you talk to in Greece, they could argue that it is “retsina” – a white, resinated wine. Raki, locally referred to as “lion’s milk”, where the word, “lion” doubles in the local lingo for “brave man”, is quite strong, and cannot be drunk straight, unless you’d like to “strip the lining off your gullet”.
According to the region where it is prepared, raki is either made from freshly picked grapes, dried grapes, figs, mulberries, or plums … and it’s very moreish once you have the correct dilution and plenty of ice to keep it cool!
