Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in winter the temperature can drop below zero.
Best Answer: You can still have bread even though you are serving it with dinner.... You could set out fat slices of warm Italian bread and the little plates with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. You dip the bread in the olive oil. It's really good.
Drink water before and during your meal and eat only a small piece of bread from the basket. Also avoid ordering an appetizer unless you are substituting it for your entree. Do have a soup or salad along with your entree so you will be unlikely to binge on wings, fries or other items that may make up your meal.
