Tour Day: SundayLast summer one of our most popular trips was “Village Life”. We ran this unique excursion on a private basis last year but due to a large number of requests to join us, we decided to offer it as part of our regular schedule for the coming year.
We pick you up at around 8.30 and drive for about 20 minutes to a nearby village, where will be welcomed with open arms by the lady of the house. She will have ready for us a delicious breakfast, served at a shady table under a sprawling oak tree in their garden, where the family always sits to eat in the warm weather.
Breakfast is regarded as the most important meal of the day by many Turks, and this magnificent spread will include all the key elements of a traditional ‘kahvalti’ (breakfast), freshly prepared, with fruit and vegetables from the garden, home picked and prepared olives, free range eggs, cheese, bread and lashings of tea.
After breakfast, we head to the village mosque, not just to see inside, but also to sit in on one of the children’s classes. (Please note that ladies should take a shawl or scarf to cover their head during the mosque visit).
The delightful school teacher is always so pleased to welcome visitors to the classroom. Whenever the children see us, they get really excited and want to show us what they are doing and share with us how clever they are. After chatting briefly with the teacher and children we go back to our village house once again, where we shall pick our own vegetables from the garden to use in our lunch.
Then for the real highlight of the day; you will cook your own lunch with the ingredients you picked from the garden. This is a genuine class in Turkish homemade cooking, using simple ingredients and techniques to make tasty and authentic food. It’s not Masterchef, but rather a hands on opportunity to prepare and share food in an everyday fashion and as an honoured guest of the family.
After cooking and eating lunch, there is time to relax, drink traditional Turkish coffee and chat with this most welcoming family before we head back to Dalyan at around 3 pm.
This day is full of special insights into traditional Turkish village life which will form the basis of truly unforgettable memories to take back with you and treasure forever.
Children under the age of 13 are half price
What to bring:
Ladies should bring a scarf or shawl to cover their hair for the mosque visit.
Whatever you get from us will just be the best ever.
Your happiness is our happiness
