Daily Kalkan Cooking Tour – Hotel Pick-up, Cooking Class & Lunch
Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Kalkan in a fully air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle. From there, we head to a welcoming local restaurant where the highlight of the day awaits: a hands-on cooking class led personally by the chef of the restaurant. Under the chef's friendly guidance, you will roll up your sleeves and learn how to prepare a selection of local dishes from Kalkan's celebrated cuisine — a delicious blend inspired by Turkish, Roman and Greek culinary traditions. Fresh salads and traditional desserts are also part of the menu, giving you a complete picture of a true Mediterranean feast. Throughout the class, your professional English-speaking guide will explain the details of each dish, the ingredients used and the stories behind them, so you leave not only with new skills but also with a deeper understanding of the region's food culture. Once the cooking is finished, the best part begins: you sit down at the restaurant and enjoy the lunch you have prepared yourself, tasting every dish fresh from the kitchen. After this memorable meal, we drive you back to your hotel, where the tour concludes. We hope this flavourful day in Kalkan becomes one of the highlights of your holiday in Turkey.

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!
