We chose the native restaurant just to the right of the entrance because they advertised calamari, to which we are addicted. When seated we were informed thay had none. We left, after a promise by the hostess they would have it the next night. We arrived promptly and were given one of the best seats in the house. The calamari was different. Long pieces of tender tentacle were filled with a mixture of nuts, figs and who knows what else. It was wonderful. The dessert was stuffed figs. Doesn't sound like much but was recommended by the hostess. These can only be described as true Turkish delight. Huge figs, filled with ground nuts and other items with a wonderful sauce and a little whipped cream would even make the sultans mouth drool.
