Bodrum Food, Culture & Cooking Experience transfer lunch included

I would recommend this to everyone. My wife and I had a blast. The village, the people, the guide, the food were all amazing.

We had such an amazing time at Etrim village! They organised a personal transfer from the hotel which was so convenient and drove 30 min to the village. The guide Tony immediately made us feel welcome by offering a drink on arrival. Together with the lovely lady we started cleaning the vegetables and created dolma, gözleme and other nice dishes in the kitchen. We didn’t make a dish from scratch to finish with cooking instructions but we took part in the preparation of multiple dishes! She was such a great teacher and wonderful company we enjoyed it to the fullest. Afterwards they finished the dishes for us to eat. I would 10/10 recommend if you want to do some cultural near Bodrum.

It wasn’t a good start as we arrived at the pick up point at the appointed time to find the office closed. We called Tony the agent who said he’d sent a WhatsApp message the day before changing the time to half an hour later. This didn’t arrive on either of our mobile phones. He arrived and took us to Etrim village at the amended time. The transport was supposed to be air conditioned. Apparently this meant if we were hot we could open the windows! The cooking class was excellent with real hands on activity and the instructor was first class explaining & demonstrating everything fully. We were close to and amongst the village cooks who were cooking for the restaurant. It was very authentic with everything grown locally but how they would cope with more than 2 guests I really don’t know. The final results were excellent and the meal was sufficient for far more than just the 2 of us. Everyone involved was absolutely lovely, it was certainly value for money and we felt that we’d contributed to the village community.
