Bodrum Market & Culinary Experience

  • Bodrum Market & Culinary Experience
From $ 200
Get your feel of the local flavors on a trip to the market, then help prepare a traditional Turkish lunch.
With a chef leading the way, you'll take in the sounds, aromas, and textures of a local market while walking through colorful stalls of jams, olives, and other delicacies you'll use on your culinary escapade. You’ll pass by village homes before transforming these goods into edible art — Turkish cuisine. As your chef goes over style and technique, you’ll help prepare a meal. Say şerefe as you clink a wine glass (or two) and feast family-style.
