- Selamlık Cd. No:21 - The shortest description of this experience is: deeply feel the local culture and hospitality. We love creating bridges between people and cultures.
How do we do that with this experience? We are inviting you to a local family home to join us for a dinner. While you are enjoying the variety of Turkish cuisine, you will experience a genuine family atmosphere as if you were at home.
That’s where we aim. We want to show our culture, how we live our lives in our homes, and how we, Easterners, are known for our hospitality. While we give you a vision of our daily home life, we will genuinely be curious about your culture and traditions.
So, we will share, learn, and teach in the most warm atmosphere possible. And we will use a great eating session for this.
So, come to our home and be our guests. But leave as a friend!

Venturing out, most of us crave to find the town’s finest eatery that serves a delightful dish. However, we often yearn for the genuine, unsophisticated flavour of Istanbul. We want to uncover experiences that aren’t easily accessible to everyone. We have such an authentic offering in store for you.

Venturing out, most of us crave to find the town’s finest eatery that serves a delightful dish. However, we often yearn for the genuine, unsophisticated flavour of Istanbul. We want to uncover experiences that aren’t easily accessible to everyone. We have such an authentic offering in store for you.
The real essence of local life that we as travellers long to witness is typically found within the walls of a local’s home. Hence, we extend an invitation to a domestic setting where you can get an immersive experience of Turkish culture and hospitality over a pleasing home-cooked meal.
Our aspiration is to foster sharing, teaching, and learning. Therefore, we require your participation. Spend some time in our community that offers familiarity akin to what you relish at your own abode amongst your dearest companions, yet piquing your interest to explore new individuals and their cultures.
