What do you mean it shouldn't, ike it violate some law? If it suits

What do tourists eat while staying in mountains? What do they have in their
menu?

My whole experience of Turkish food was a long time ago on a day trip to
Bodrum from Kos. My impression at the time was very oily, but a lot tastier
and spicier than the food on Kos. So I am now an expert on Greek and
Turkish food culture.

We found Turkish food more varied and a lot tastier than Greek food.
