This is a wonderful opportunity to get a good overall picture of the ancient city of Ephesus, as well as digging into our wonderful local gastronomic world. I've always wanted to offer this combination of visiting the must-see sites and then preparing traditional food for ourselves. Finally, the dream came true when I met with the right and great people to do it! I am offering you a tour at your own pace without rush. Enjoy walking tour through this amazing city and see the magnificent monuments, talk about its rich historical background, daily life, fashion, food . . Then we will take part of a cooking session, hands on! Learn to prepare iconic dishes passed down through generations, including dolma, carrot tarator (havuç tarator), cheese rolls (sigara böreği), and homemade meatballs (köfte) or stuffed eggplant with ground meat or casserole dish.
