You'll have a chance to see the sites all the way up the Bosphorus on your private boat tour. You’ll disembark near the beautiful ‘Yali’ or waterfront mansions before taking a short drive up the hill to our Black Sea village. Local staff will demonstrate recipes and then you will put your culinary skills to work. As you cook, you’ll enjoy a variety of Turkish snacks and taste unique local beverages such as chai or ayran. Just past noon we will come together to eat what we have made and enjoy a proper, Turkish, family style meal. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, non-dairy/dairy free menu options are available (please note on booking form). During your time in the village you have the chance to see fresh and delicious Turkish produce and ingredients. With each step, see a glimpse of what village life is like in Turkiye. Finally, in the early afternoon we’ll head back and catch a return ferry down the Bosphorus with still enough time for you to enjoy a late afternoon in Istanbul.
