Bodrum Market Visit and Cooking Class

Discover the vibrant culinary traditions of Bodrum, Turkey, with a hands-on market visit and cooking class. Begin your morning with a friendly pick-up from your hotel or cruise port, then meet your local host for a welcoming cup of tea.

Stroll through Bodrum’s lively farmers’ market, where you’ll select fresh, seasonal ingredients for your lunch. Engage with local vendors offering olives, wild greens, homemade noodles, jams, pickles, breads, and cheeses, immersing yourself in the region’s authentic flavors.

After gathering your ingredients, head to your host’s home in the scenic farming area of Bodrum. In her kitchen, you’ll learn the secrets of Aegean cookery, a healthy and delicious branch of Turkish cuisine. Choose to participate in the cooking or simply watch while enjoying a glass of Turkish wine.

Savor a lunch you helped prepare, featuring three cold starters, a warm entrée, and a main course, all served with stunning views of the mythological Aegean Sea. You’ll also receive written recipes to recreate these dishes at home.

This intimate experience lasts about five hours and includes round-trip transfers within Bodrum city, a recipe book, and lunch. Spaces are limited, so check availability and secure your spot for an unforgettable culinary adventure.
