Culinary Expeditions in Turkey offers a variety of excursions for travelers interested in experiencing Turkey’s unique culinary heritage — scheduled departures, in addition to private itineraries for small groups who desire their own departure dates along with a program that suits their own particular interest.

Our scheduled departures include a very special land tour to GAZIANTEP and the southeast of Turkey with its focus on the home-cooking of the region.   The program highlights include: several cooking sessions with noted home cooks, dining with local families, market tours, a journey to the Euphrates River, and opportunities to experience the local red pepper and pistachio harvests.

Several scheduled CULINARY CRUISES along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are also on offer this year.   Relaxing, exciting adventures aboard a comfortable motor-cruiser, with opportunities to visit local food markets, explore antiquities on shore  in addition to experiencing wonderful Turkish food prepared on board each day.  Here is your opportunity to learn about both regional and national dishes.

As expected, ISTANBUL is a popular destination for food travelers.   In this truly exotic city, we focus on street food and markets along with several noted dining experiences, all of which showcases Istanbul’s cultural inheritance and its diversity.

If a scheduled tour is not to your liking and you prefer to travel with your own friends or family, contact us.  We can arrange your own food exploration in Turkey, be it Istanbul or a cruise along the coast.
