A Private Village-to-Village Culinary Journey from Kusadasi

Embark on a private culinary journey from Kusadasi. Enjoy a village breakfast, wine or Raki tasting, Gozleme, Turkish ice cream, lamb skewers, and Baklava.
Begin your adventure in the peaceful hills of Kirazli Village with an age-old Turkish tradition: kahve-altı kahvaltı—breakfast “under the coffee.” Enjoy village honey, local cheeses, olives, fresh herbs, homemade jams, stone-oven bread, and warm Gozleme prepared by village women. Finish with a slow-brewed Turkish coffee that symbolizes hospitality at its purest.

Continue to a community-supported school where you’ll enjoy a curated tasting of regional wine, traditional Raki, or local beer. Your guide shares insights into the area’s grapes, distillation methods, and how these beverages connect rural life with centuries-old craftsmanship.

Next, travel to Sirince, where history and beauty blend seamlessly. Sample freshly made Gozleme paired with cool Ayran, or choose from other soft drinks if preferred. Wander through cobblestone lanes, browse handmade goods, and take in the village’s timeless atmosphere—this is one of the Aegean’s most beloved gems.

Your culinary path continues with a fun stop for traditional Turkish ice cream. Famous for its stretchy texture, it must be bitten to be fully enjoyed—an unforgettable and delicious moment.

Head to Selçuk, where you’ll savor Çöp Sis, tender lamb skewers perfected over three generations in a renowned family-run restaurant. These juicy bites exemplify Aegean comfort food at its finest.

Return to Kusadasi for the perfect finale: a sweet serving of Baklava made with layers of filo, crushed nuts, and fragrant syrup. This final taste brings your culinary pilgrimage to a delicious close.
