Every traveler’s main goal is to sample the local food, particularly if it’s something they’ve heard a lot about. One of the most well-known Turkish desserts accessible worldwide is baklava, though none quite compares to the cuisine of its homeland, naturally.

The dessert is distinct because its sweet flavor originates from a thick syrup made just of sugar, water, and a tiny bit of lemon juice. In Turkey, you can get original baklava for as little as $1 on the streets, which is great news if you want to try the dessert instead of only the Westernized version.
