Etrim village cooking experience. - We loved our experience visiting Etrim Village. We were welcomed and driven to the village by Tony who made the day very enjoyable. The people in the village were so lovely, teaching us how to cook traditional Turkish meals and making sure we were cared for throughout the day. If you are looking for a unique and culturally rich day while in Bodrum, I highly recommend.

An authentic small village in Turkey - We enjoyed this little village! We helped cook food- grating carrots, stirring the pot, rolling cheese rolls. It was fun to do together as a family. We grated a lot of carrots, but then never ate anything with carrots, so not sure what they went to. We liked rolling the bread dough and baking it on the fire. We even got to meet Grandma a few houses down. A nice experience.

Charming - Absolutely perfect! Our delightful guide, Tony, picked us up at the cruise port and brought us to his beautiful village. Our hosts patiently taught us to make dolma and gözleme, accompanied by Turkish coffee and lots of smiles. We visited the rug weaving co op and then enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the charming restaurant. A day very well spent. Highly recommend this experience.

Authentic cultural experience - I had an amazing day on this trip. As a solo traveler I was warmly welcomed by everyone. The tour guide, Tony is very knowledgeable about the area and was always around to translate. I was welcomed with tea before I was taken to the kitchen to help the local ladies prepare various dishes. I was treated kindly by all the locals and enjoyed learning not only about the local food but also about the Turkish culture. The village is beautiful and it felt like a true authentic experience. The food I ate for lunch was also some of the best food I have eaten on my trip so far.

Amazing traditional food experience - I had an amazing experience. I was the only one signed up for the class so as a female solo traveler I felt a little worried at first, but I felt safe and really enjoyed my time at the Etrim Village. It was nice to see the countryside of bodrum and experience how to cook Turkish food. I would recommend this to anyone!

Not a good start but an excellent finish! - 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.
