Learn Turkish coffee on hot sand in Cappadocia in a 30-minute hands-on workshop. Small group, local-style serving, for $12.
“We had such a great time learning how to make Turkish coffee using the traditional sand method. We even got to dress up in Ottoman-style vests and hats, which made the experience extra fun and memorable. Ugur was incredibly funny, made the session so enjoyable, and helped us take photos and videos while we were making the coffee. Highly recommend giving this a go when visiting Göreme - it was a highlight of our trip! ☕️😊”

Guide was very knowledgeable about perfume making and quantities and very friendly and welcoming. 64 varied scents to try to sniff as many as you can to select the combination desired.

Avanos pottery workshop with pickup and drinks. Watch a master, try the wheel, learn the story, and take your clay home in a box.
“Our guide Alper was amazing, he told us the background behind the pottery making which was really interesting. We then had the opportunity to have a go at pottery ourself which was amazing. Our master was a 17 year old with 9 years experiences which I found fascinating. Alper then showed us around the items they had produced which were gorgeous and we even ended up buying a couple of souvenirs to take home. We felt very welcomed and Alper was very attentive. Would definitely recommend!”
