This four-day private programme pairs the great classical sites of the southern Aegean with a morning in the kitchen. Your base for three nights is Didim, a resort town on the Aydin coast that sits within easy reach of three of the most important ancient settlements of the region: Priene, Miletos and the oracle sanctuary of Didyma. Arrival and departure are handled through Milas Bodrum International Airport, with transfers included both ways.
The sightseeing day starts at Priene, a town that once stood on the shore but now lies about 16 km from the sea on the slopes of Mount Mykale. Its theatre is counted among the finest of the Hellenic world, and the Temple of Athena Polias was funded by Alexander the Great. From there the route continues to Miletos, one of the largest cities of ancient Anatolia and a key stop on the old trade routes, where the visit also includes the Miletos Museum. The final stop is Didyma, which was never a city but a vast sanctuary of Apollo, once one of the largest temples of the Greek world.
Day three is devoted to food. At a local restaurant you join a professional cooking lesson focused on dishes the Didim area is known for: tarhana soup, vine leaves stuffed with spiced rice and dressed in olive oil, and fresh fish. The cook also introduces the fig dessert that is widely made in the district. Lunch is the meal you have just prepared, after which you have some hours to browse the shops of the town centre and then return to the hotel.
The package covers three nights of hotel accommodation in Didim, three breakfasts and one lunch, a professional English-speaking guide, transport in an air-conditioned non-smoking vehicle, the guided city tour and the cooking lesson, all entrance fees listed in the programme, and hotel, tour and transfer taxes. Flights, insurance, the city tax and personal spending are not included.

Your driver meets you at Milas Bodrum International Airport and takes you to your hotel in Didim. Once you have your room key, the rest of the day is free to settle in and get to know the town at your own pace. Overnight in Didim.
After breakfast you are collected from the hotel for the guided tour. First comes Priene, a former harbour now set inland on the hills of Mount Mykale, with its celebrated theatre and the Temple of Athena Polias, a gift of Alexander the Great. Next is Miletos, once among the largest cities of Anatolia on the trade routes, followed by the Miletos Museum. The last visit is Didyma, a sanctuary rather than a town, built around one of the largest temples dedicated to Apollo. Transfer back to your hotel in Didim.
Following breakfast you are driven to a local restaurant for a professional cooking class. You learn to prepare tarhana soup, olive-oil vine leaves filled with rice and spices, and fresh fish, and hear about the fig dessert typical of the district. You eat what you have cooked for lunch, then spend the afternoon at leisure in the town centre and return to the hotel later. Overnight in Didim.
Breakfast at the hotel, then free time until your departure transfer to Milas Bodrum International Airport for your flight home.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
