Ugar is the best! - This had a little bit of history, a little bit of costumes and fun, and a little bit of a one-of-a-kind hands-on experience! Turkish coffee, tea, cake, and Turkish delight were served. Small class (only room for 6 people), so we all got a group demonstration, but then a one-on-one experience, which Ugar, the instructor was more than happy to document for you. He was so friendly and clearly passionate about making sure you have the best experience possible. For under $20usd and an hour of pure joy, this was great for me as a solo traveler but would also be fun for couples or families. The sand is very hot (and the coffee is very strong), but I think this would also be great for older children and teens who like to "do" things.

Sand Brewed Coffee experience - This was a truly unique way to experience Turkish culture. Our host was warm and welcoming, making the session enjoyable from start to finish. She shared the fascinating history of Turkish coffee, demonstrated the preparation process, and gave us the opportunity to make our own. She even allowed time for each person to take photos and videos individually. Overall, it was a delightful experience—and the coffee was excellent!

Fun Experience! - My husband and I took this workshop with Asli. She was wonderful to work with, sweet and energetic. We were hands on participating in making the Turkish coffee . Something fun to look into you if you have some extra time in Cappadocia.

Authentic and Fun Turkish Coffee experience!!! - This was amazing!!! We were taught all about traditional Turkish Coffee and made it ourselves by using hot sand which turned out delicious. Our teacher Ugur was very hospitable providing us with Turkish tea and homemade baking during the lesson. He also had a great sense of humour and made the group feel at home.
