Eleos is Greek for Yum!

It's been a fun day today in Istanbul...




We met up with Auntie-santi for a quick beer and then headed off to Eleos, this Greek place on a terrace overlooking the Bosphorus.  The view was amazing...



They brought out some Ouzo with lemon juice to start..opa!


Auntie-santi’s best friend Lale joined us and you could see right away why they have been friends for so long.  We ordered some Raki…






Which in Turkish translates to Lion’s Milk because it turns white when you add water. 

And then we did the usual “a little little in the middle” which really means “a lot a lot in the middle”


Monkfish with tomatoes and onions...


Crab and Lobster in a cream sauce...


Grilled calamari...



Something called Semolina pie!





This was one of the waiters that photobombed our picture...


Now I'm too fat to live...again!


The food was so amazing and we all had a great time.  Now we are off to bed because we are off to Izmir tomorrow.
