• Bank Ev Sahil Sitesi - With the guidance of a friendly local couple residing in Bodrum, participants will have the opportunity to prepare traditional dishes from various regions of Turkey. This is a wonderful chance to explore the local cuisine, home life, and culture, creating unforgettable memories.

After introductions and cultural exchanges, the experience begins with tea or coffee and snacks. Following this, the cooking session takes place in a cozy home setting.

The highlight is when everyone gathers to enjoy the meal together. We often say, “We cook for 2 hours and eat for 10 minutes,” but when the food is that delicious, it’s natural to eat quickly. However, there’s no rush; if anyone wishes to savor the meal longer, everyone will happily wait.

Afterwards, there will be more tea and storytelling. By the end of the experience, the hope is to have formed connections that last beyond the three-hour event.

Join in and be part of this delightful experience.

Can & Gaye, a couple residing in Bodrum, have been passionate about cooking for many years.

This experience is essentially a home cooking class, offering genuine authenticity and cultural exchange.
