One of the best tours and activities I have ever had! Did the tour with my spouse and another couple, felt like a 1-on-1 experience. Toured the wonderful Bodrum market, met the vendors, and purchased awesome spices. Cooking class was intimate, guide added culture to every technique we learned. Re-invigorated my desire to cook good, healthy meals from that moment. Would recommend to anyone interested in cooking, culture, and learning more about the wonderful people in Turkey!

We had a pleasant and educational day learning about Turkish markets and how to prepare some delicious Turkish staples. It was a highlight of our trip and I've already used some of the recipes at home.

I brought my sister to this as a surprise birthday present. What a joy it was! Asli brought us shopping and tasting in the market, followed by prepping lunch in the most beautiful setting of a winery with everything so well prepared with plenty of staff to help. She was fantastic at explaining what to do. Lunch was superb. Served with a selection of wines. My sister was blown away as was I! I'd highly recommend this. We were just two but they can cater for big groups too. Lots of options including overnights and weekend deals. I would return in a heartbeat. The aesthetic of the entire venue is so beautiful, the natural surroundings, the architecture, decor, vineyard, music, just everything! Thank you Asli and crew! Wishing you all a great season.
