Itinerary
Would you like to experience drinking Turkish coffee like a local; discover local herbs & lokum (Turkish delight) and learn why they are so special in our culture?
Firstly, we will sit in a Turkish coffee shop to discover how, where and when to drink Turkish coffee. I am going to explain how to cook, how to drink with our 5 senses, make fortune-telling from the coffee grounds & tell you stories behind the tradition.
Secondly, we visit a local ‘lokum’ store to experience our deep tradition & listen more stories.
After a short walk in the old Bodrum streets, we arrive the shop of a modern herbalist who carries ancestors' knowledge with years of experience & brings them to the modern age.
Here we witness how Turkish coffee is brewed with traditional methods & we get information about the herbs and spices of Anatolia, which is an important center of natural healing resources in the world, and get answers to your questions about alternative treatment methods. We will also have knowledge about spices, herbal oils, pure soaps, herbal teas & Turkish tea.
*Tips will be shared to Enjoy the Best of Bodrum
*Our herbalist is the member of ‘Turkey Herbs & Aromatic Plant Growers Association’

Details
"Melis was so lovely, great listener and story teller. The experience was lovely, meeting the herbalist was so inspiring. His Turkish coffee smelled exceptional and my family all purchased some from him to take home. I highly recommend meeting Melis and experiencing Bodrum with such a friendly guide :)" Maha "I am an avid traveler and have meet so many guides and been on so many tours. I wish I found her earlier, but enjoyed every minute of our time together. No one else offers what she does." Sejal "Melis is friendly, fun, passionate and knowledgeable, and she clearly loves sharing Bodrum’s hidden gems with her guests." John "Very insightful 90 minutes with Melis. I recommend you tailor make a private session with her as her knowledge is vast and she knows the Zouk inside out" Roland
