Bodrum Market Visit and Cooking Class

This market visit and culinary experience commences by purchasing ingredients from the local marketplace prior to embarking on a journey to the chef's residence to craft a five-course Turkish feast. This culminates in an afternoon spent enjoying lunch and savoring wines while overlooking the Aegean Sea.

At 09:30, guests will be picked up from their accommodation or the cruise ship port. Upon arrival at their first destination, they will encounter their host and culinary guide who will serve them a cup of tea. Subsequently, the group will proceed to the nearby farmers' market, where they will engage with local vendors offering an array of fresh produce such as homegrown olives, wild seasonal greens, vegetables, and handmade noodles, jams, pickles, breads, and cheeses. Following the shopping experience, participants will head to the designated chef's residence in Bodrum, where they will learn about the traditional Aegean region's culinary heritage during a hands-on cooking session. Depending on their preferences, attendees may choose to participate actively in the preparation process or observe while enjoying a glass of Turkish wine alongside their meal. A sumptuous lunch will be served outdoors, showcasing breathtaking views of the mythical Aegean Sea. The journey concludes with the group returning to their initial lodging or the cruise ship terminal by 14:30.
