The market was filled with beautiful produce; then we went to a stunning winery and restaurant to learn how to create the fantastic dishes. Our guides were lovely, humble and created such a lovely day!

Amazing!! Asli texted a... - Amazing!! Asli texted a day before with a confirmation and when we arrived at the port the driver was waiting. We went to a market with fresh fruit, veggies, and fish; we even sampled food. Karnas vineyards, the cooking class location, was absolutely stunning and the experience was very enjoyable.

I’ve been to many... - I’ve been to many international cooking classes and this one was by far the best. Chef has so much knowledge of traditional Turkish dishes as so many good anecdotes. The farmers market was an added bonus to such a great class. I highly recommend.

Book this experience! - This tour was amazing! We started the day meeting our chef, Asli, at a Turkish farmers markets where all of the food looked fresh and colorful (something you don’t always see in the US!). She introduced us to many of the vendors and we were able to sample many foods from cheeses to nuts to dried fruit, and was greeted by Elvis the spice guy (when you go, ask to meet him!). After selecting our vegetables, many that are local to this region, we made our way to her kitchen at the Karnas Winery. A table was set up outside and we began slicing and chopping our vegetables and preparing our main dish. Asli helped us by giving us step-by-step guidance and we created a meal that was amazing. Did I mention that she’s a Michelin rated chef? When it was time to eat the food we prepared, Asli sat with us and we had an amazing conversation about the origin of the food and all of the different flavors. Overall, this was an amazing day and an amazing experience.

Fantastic cooking experience! - The cooking class was wonderful! Asli, our instructor, guide and Michelin rated chef, created a fantastic experience. Exploring the market with her was educational and fun. I feel as if we learned so much about the local food and produce. The food we prepared was some of the best tasting on our trip. Our class was capped off with a tour off the beautiful Karmas Winery. I highly recommend this class and enjoyed it so much we are going to do it again with another group of friends.

Incredible food in a fun atmosphere - This was such a fun experience. The food we made was incredible, the staff that ran the experience were so nice and helpful, and trying all the different spices and dried herbs and fruit was a highlight. We absolutely loved doing this during our time in Bodrum. We came off a cruise ship for this and they picked us up and dropped us off at the port.

I’d go again just for the Seabeans - This was a TREMENDOUS experience and a wonderful way to spend our day in Bodrum. The pickup from the port was seamless and the vehicle was great (air conditioning!!) The market was bustling and interesting. For sure you need to know your exchange rates before going because they will chance it to get more money out of you, but they will accept foreign currencies. Asli was wonderful and welcoming and a great guide through the market and then through our lunch prep. The food was DELICIOUS as was the wine. Thank you Asli for a phenomenal day!
