What the creator captured
Hatay Sandık İçi explored the culinary offerings at Beşiktaş's stadium, finding the chicken and meat wraps surprisingly high-quality despite the high prices. While he enjoyed the nostalgic taste of the mosaic cake, he was disappointed by the soggy sandwich and the overpriced ring dessert. He concluded that while stadium food is expensive, the wraps are the most satisfying options for hungry fans.

Local tips
- Purchase an Istanbulkart from yellow vending machines at the airport or transit stations for seamless, discounted access to all public transport, including ferries and trams.
- Always carry small amounts of Turkish Lira in cash, as most restaurants do not allow adding tips to credit card payments and street vendors rarely accept cards.
- When dining out, a tip of 5–10% is customary for good service and should be left in cash on the table or in the bill folder.
- Use ride-hailing apps like BiTaksi or Uber to ensure the taximeter is used and to avoid common street taxi overcharging scams.
