Guests will experience Turkish culture through food, conversation, and shared moments around the table in the peaceful village of Kirazlı. During the experience, travelers will participate in selected stages of preparing traditional Anatolian dishes while learning about Turkish food history, village traditions, regional ingredients, hospitality culture, and the everyday role food plays in family life across Türkiye.
Rather than being focused only on technical cooking instruction, this experience is designed to feel relaxed, personal, and cultural — combining storytelling, local traditions, and authentic village life. Freshly prepared seasonal dishes will be served throughout the experience, creating time to slow down, connect, and enjoy Turkish hospitality in a warm and natural setting.
Menus may vary depending on the season, local ingredients, and guests’ dietary preferences, allowing for a flexible and personalized experience.
After booking, guests will receive detailed meeting information and simple port directions. Cruise guests will be personally welcomed at the port before we head to Kirazlı Village together.
