• Bank Ev Sahil Sitesi - With the guidance of a friendly local couple residing in Bodrum, participants will have the opportunity to prepare authentic Turkish dishes. This experience offers a memorable insight into the local cuisine, lifestyle, and culture.

The event begins with a warm welcome and a refreshing cocktail, setting the perfect tone to ease into Bodrum’s vibrant atmosphere.

Once introductions are made and cultural exchanges have taken place, the excitement truly begins as everyone engages in the cooking process within a cozy home environment.

The highlight is gathering around the table to relish the delicious results of the cooking efforts. It’s often said: cooking takes 2 hours, but the meal is devoured in 10 minutes — because it’s that tasty. However, there’s no need to hurry; if anyone wishes to savor their meal longer, the hosts are more than happy to join.

Participants will also enjoy expertly grilled dishes, complemented by local wines or rakı, creating an authentic Bodrum dining experience.

After the meal, the evening winds down with tea and storytelling. By the end, the hope is to have shared not just food, but also forged lasting connections beyond the 3-hour event.

Join in for an experience of cooking, dining, laughter, and toasting together.
