Gluten Free in Turkey

Lucky for me my mum and dad have a villa in Turkey so we have been visiting since I was 4. We stay in a small place called calis inside Fethiye. The food here has always been amazing but since I was diagnosed with celilac disease I had to change my orders in most places. 

My favourite restraunt is called la casa di mamma here the were able to gluten free pasta I got arrabita because its my favourite. Before I was celiac I use to order the fajitas and the were amazing I never thought when I was here but I should have just brought my own wraps to have them, its well worth it. We also went to a Chinese called Serkul 2 were I was able to get sweet and sour chicken and fried rice gluten free which was super tasty. 

Turkey is quite similar to Greece were it’s a bit more difficult to get gluten free food lucky for me though I do love a meat filled diet and most places do a chicken shish or grilled chicken and things similar that are safe to eat. I don’t think there is anywhere here that offered a gluten free menu but it is also quite a small place there probably is more options in one of the bigger citys. 

For lunch I was able to buy some gluten free things from one of the bigger supermarkets in fethiye so I was able to buy rolls and bread and some biscuit things here. Sometimes if I knew there wasn’t going to be much I could eat at the restraunt we were going to or I was fed up on meat I would buy gluten free pasta and a sauce and have something to eat before we went out.

Gluten Free in Rhodes

I visited Rhodes in Greece at the end of June this year, I would say this was one of the most challenging places I have visited so far. We stayed In the Madison boutique hotel where breakfast was included in the stay. I emailed prior to the visit too ensure they would be able to have breakfast options I could eat and they were very helpful ensuring they would cater for me. It was a family run hotel and they were very helpful and ensured they bought breakfast options such as rolls and cereals and they often made me homemade brownies which were they best brownies I have ever had .  I was walking into restaurants and asking do you have anything gluten free where some actually told me that in Greece they don’t believe in “things like that" so it was extremely difficult to find somewhere sometimes. There was only really one restaurant in Faliraki that offered a gluten free menu, it was called eat Greek. The restaurant was really good as you could get a range of ...

Gluten Free in Ibiza

Image
When I visited Ibiza in July I can safely say there where a lot less food places tried than the rest of the holidays I have been on it was much more of a liquid based diet consumed over these 7 days. A saving grace was at least the burger king had   gluten free options always useful as a hangover cure or a post club scran, the UK really needs to include the gluten free options on their menus. We went for a full English breakfast everyday maybe at like 4 o’clock when we could be bothered to venture out of the hotel not sure if it still counts as breakfast. The breakfast was outstanding and there was a gluten free breakfast being made with gluten free toast and sausages, full English breakfast was what the doctor ordered to sort me out each day. Sometimes I would opt for a grilled chicken and chips very plain but you can't go wrong and it was always very nice.   Over the 7 days we were in Ibiza I can only really think of two places were we had a proper dinner. One place we ...
