Chez Galip pottery workshop
Chez Galip pottery workshop

Spending time in a local family's home, learning how to cook traditional meals is an excellent way to experience rural life in Cappadocia.
Although the landscape in Cappadocia looks fairly barren, the volcanic soil is richly fertile and yields excellent vegetables and fruit, including grapes for Cappadocia's thriving wine industry. Local ingredients are therefore used in all cooking, and villagers have passed the art of producing excellent home-cooked food down through the generations.
These activities are designed to give you the most authentic experiences around where you're staying. We work with local guides, who use their knowledge and often a resident's eye to show you the main sights and more out-of-the-way attractions. Our specialists can suggest tours and activities that will introduce you to the local ways of life.
