Showcase: Culinary main street with 'Culinary Backstreets'
In Istanbul, the city's story is written on its recipes. From shepherds and traders to sultans and chefs, a culinary tour of the city takes us on a journey through the region's history.
This history will be completed only if you know all the backstreet routes for good food. We couldn’t complete this journey without Culinary Backstreets team who know all the main routes for good food in Istanbul. They also helped us understanding the culture, and the daily practices of the city while eating beautiful foods.
Started in 2009 as a food blog ‘Istanbul Eats’, Ansel Mullins and Yigal Schleifer turned their passion into exploring food cultures with Culinary Backstreets in 2010.
Culinary Backstreets is not only good for learning eating practices in different cities, but they also help you to learn different stories of the shops, people and food and the daily life.

Walking Greek Alleys Towards the Acropolis (Athens, Greece)
While visiting Athens, president Obama had the whole city pretty much closed off to the public. We couldn't visit the Acropolis or even the surrounding streets. They had policemen on every road for a mile radius and more in the city. So we decided to take a walk around the entire Acropolis to capture it from every angle!
To walk to the Acropolis, you will be climbing hills for at least a mile. Towards the top of the hills, there are many many intricate alleyways and homes where people live. You may walk down a small alley and you're offered secret and excellent views of Athens!
The Acropolis of Athens (Ancient Greek: Ἀκρόπολις, tr. Akrópolis; Modern Greek: Ακρόπολη Αθηνών, tr. Akrópoli Athenón [aˈkropoli aθiˈnon]) is an ancient citadel located on an extremely rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis comes from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, highest point, extremity) and πόλις (polis, city). Although there are many other acropoleis in Greece, the significance of the Acropolis of Athens is such that it is commonly known as The Acropolis without qualification.
While there is evidence that the hill was inhabited as far back as the fourth millennium BC, it was Pericles (c. 495 – 429 BC) in the fifth century BC who coordinated the construction of the site's most important buildings including the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Parthenon and the other buildings were seriously damaged during the 1687 siege by the Venetians in the Morean War when gunpowder being stored in the Parthenon was hit by a cannonball and exploded.

STORYLINE:
With unemployment rising sharply in Greece, more people are finding it hard to keep a roof over their heads.
The number of homeless people has risen in Athens during the last two years of austerity measures and increased unemployment, which has risen above 18 percent, has played its role in this phenomenon.
Church-run centres like Galini- which literally means calmness - in downtown Athens are providing relief by giving to the homeless warm meals and temporary shelters.
Father Ignacius chants the prayer before the food is served to the homeless everyday.
Today's delicacies include fried chicken along with rice and bread as well as yoghurt for desert.
We cook whatever food we have, lentils, beans, chickpeas, meat, whatever we have, one of the Galini cooks, Georgia Alexiou says.
We have 250 portions, and whatever else we have or it's left we prepare it for the next day, she adds.
Most of the people that are given food in Galini which is run by the Greek Orthodox church, are Greek nationals.
The homeless are having a much harder time as winter approaches. The temperature in Athens has started to gradually descend and on Saturday it dropped to nine Degrees Celsius (44 Fahrenheit).
Former dancer Dimitris Chelmis visits the centre for a plate of warm food every day.
Chelmis was a traditional folk dancer, but has been on and off work since 2008. He has been homeless for a year now.
Before that Chelmis used to dance in banquets and weddings, getting paid at least 70 Euros (100 US Dollars) for every performance. He owned a house and had a family. His daughter is now 19 years old. Both her and his ex wife do not know that he is homeless.
Chelmis, a regular of the Galini Shelter in downtown Athens, spends most of his day wondering aimlessly until nightfall.
He then joins a community of homeless people who seek shelter under a bridge, close to the metro station of the area of Keramikos in Athens, a very upcoming neighbourhood, full of restaurants and cafes.
