Top Turkey Olive Oil Tasting

This is not your usual tasting tour. Hosted by a licensed guide born and raised in Seferihisar, this slow dining experience takes place in a beautifully decorated garden with an elegantly set table. The menu is prepared not by chefs, but by local women using traditional recipes and non-industrial ingredients—just like at home. You'll taste real flavors: Armola cheese, mastic tarhana, Seferihisar-style ravioli, and more. Only small groups are accepted, by reservation, creating an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. As you enjoy each dish under the evening sky, stories about Seferihisar’s food culture, daily life, and traditions are shared. It’s not about gourmet presentation—it’s about connection, authenticity, and tasting something you can’t find in restaurants. A warm, local, and unforgettable experience.

Make the most of an evening in Istanbul with a scenic dinner cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. See Istanbul’s palaces, mosques and bridges from the water. Choose from a package that includes soft drinks or alcoholic drinks. Stay entertained on board with shows featuring belly dancers, folk dancers, and more.

This is much more than a cooking class—it is an invitation into the heart of a real Turkish village. Spend the day with local families, help prepare traditional Turkish dishes, and experience a way of life preserved for generations. Meet village women, learn local food traditions, and discover how handmade carpets, rugs, and crafts remain an important part of daily life in Etrim. Explore a self-sufficient village producing olive oil, honey, thyme, natural soaps, spices, and handicrafts. Visit village homes, meet local artisans, and enjoy Turkish hospitality throughout the day. Whether you come for the food, the culture, or the people, you will leave with unforgettable memories—and perhaps a handmade treasure that allows you to take a small piece of Turkey home with you. Pickup from cruise port, hotels, and villas. Timely return to your ship guaranteed. Discover the real Turkey through its people, food, and traditions. More Than a Cooking Class—A Journey Into Village Life.

This is not a restaurant meal or a staged activity. It is time inside a real Istanbul home hosted by two working artists who share their daily life with adopted animals. The experience blends a vegetarian Turkish table, thoughtful conversation about fashion, film, and Turkish flora, and a gentle seaside walk in Fenerbahce with a few of their dogs. The setting, the hosts’ creative perspective, and the feeling of being welcomed into a human and animal family are what make it different.
