Experience Details

Going to a home where locals live is already a unique experience. However, if this comes in a style that is a mutual hobby for both hosts and guests, that makes the experience memorable for both the hosts and guests since they both learn a lot from each other.


Can & Gaye are a couple living in Bodrum and they have cooking as their passion for long years.


This will pretty much be a home cooking class with a great authenticity and cultural exchange.


Come visit us, cook, eat and connect with us.

What You’ll Experience

With the assistance of a local couple who lives in Bodrum, you will be cooking traditional dishes from Turkey. Getting to know the local cuisine, home life and culture will be an experience to remember. We'll start with a warm welcome — and a cool welcome cocktail in hand. It's the perfect way to break the ice and ease into the rhythm of Bodrum. After getting to know each other and each other's cultures, the real fun begins as we dive into the cooking process together in a cozy home setting. The best part comes when we all gather at the table to enjoy the fruits of our labor. We often say: we cook for 2 hours and eat in 10 minutes — because it's that delicious. But don’t worry, there’s no rush. If you want to linger longer over your plate, we'll happily join you. You'll also savor expertly grilled dishes, paired with local wines or rakı — just like a true Bodrum feast. After the meal, we’ll wind down with tea and stories. By the end, we hope we've not only shared food but also formed connections that last longer than just these 3 hours. So, come join us. Let’s cook, eat, laugh, and toast together.
