Tour Overview
Turkish cuisine is one of the most varied in the world. It is considered the third richest cuisine after French and Chinese gastronomy. However, in the West, this cuisine is not recognized enough, as it is often limited to the Döner Kebab! Turkey is a crossroads between Europe, Asia, and the Orient. This unique location combined with the migration of Turks from Central Asia to Europe has shaped the identity of its gastronomy over the centuries. Because of six centuries of Ottoman regional domination and the reciprocal influence between Turkey and its neighboring countries (Greece, Bulgaria, The Balkans, Irak, Syria Iran, Armenia…) is the reason why we find so many common dishes in those cuisines such as dolma, börek, kebab, mantı (Turkish ravioli), and so on.

Itinerary
We take our guests from the hotel and depart to a local restaurant for your professional cooking lesson. The Gulul soup, which we can describe as yogurt soup, includes green lentils and cut dough. The main ingredient of the Finger kebab, which has a Yuksekova flavor, is eggplant cut in the form of a finger. It can be surprising with a variety of spices. Jajik is one of the flavors that are often prepared in the city. Prepared with yoghurt and grated cucumber, this delicious snack becomes legendary with the addition of some garlic. In Hakkâri, small chopped cabbage pickles are called soup. For those who want to try both a satisfying and delicious taste, Chevirmeli Pilav is one of the dishes we recommend. Firstly, bird head and various vegetables are added to the bottom of the pan, and then roasted grain rice. Cukurca Tahin dessert Sesame seeds grown in Cukurca region are roasted in low heat and used in tahini production. It has a special flavour. After lunch you will depart to city center for free time and shopping before returning to your hotel. After the tour drop back to your hotel. We hope your tour was a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you in the future on another TravelShop Booking Tour. Have a safe trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop Booking.
