Central Anatolia Region

We arrived earlier than booked but the instructor, Ugur, let us start early so we wouldn't have to wait. Ugur was very friendly and funny and taught us a lot about Turkish coffee culture and the history around it. We were provided with traditional vests and fez's and he offered to take photos and videos with us. The instructions to make the coffee were very clear and easy to follow and resulted in a delicious cup of traditional Turkish coffee served with some Turkish delight also. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Göreme!

this workshop is one of the highlights of my trip! it was fun and the instructor is nice, she explained how to do it and also helped check if our work is good and there are no gaps for the beads. she gave us a bubble wrap and a paper bag for the lamp and I was able to handcarry it during my flight. If I can suggest, it would be best if they can also give you a box for the lamp for better protection and not just a paperbag and bubble wrap. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

There is an underground tunnel inside the building, and it looks like a place that has carried on a family business for a long time! There are so many beautiful ceramics, but the prices are quite steep. However, negotiation is possible, so if you are interested, give it a try.

A wonderful hands-on Turkish coffee workshop — learned the traditional brewing method step by step, from grinding to the perfect foam. Such a fun, authentic way to connect with Turkish culture, and I now know how to make proper Turkish coffee at home! 😅 Highly recommend for anyone wanting more than just a tasting. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The value for money was better than other companies! Due to a mistake by the pickup driver, not everyone could fit in the vehicle, and because they had to go back for a second trip, we ended up going inside by ourselves. Once inside, the seats are assigned by the owner, I suppose? You cannot choose your own. Everyone wanted seats right in front of the stage, but they were told no. It seemed like they filled up the front-row seats at the very end. The people who arrived truly last were seated near the entrance. However, when we said we wouldn't be able to see anything from our seats behind the musicians, they showed us to different other seats. My mother and I are short, so we would have been in a spot where we couldn't see any of the ceremony at all, which was a huge help. The ceremony itself was very interesting and solemn. Although we were told to stay quiet the entire time and not to take photos except at the end, I thought it was a bit rude to see other guests whispering and having their video cameras turned on. From a Buddhist perspective, the ceremony itself had some relatable elements, and even without knowing much about religion, it was very interesting. You are allowed to take photos at the end of the show. Afterward, we were offered Turkish tea, and the experience concluded by walking through the souvenir shop area. Since it was a rainy day and outdoor activities were completely out of the question, I felt really glad we went. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys experiencing different cultures.

We came as part of a package tour and visited during our free time in the evening. Since we had a child and my mother-in-law with us, we booked the experience for one adult and two children. It was about a 5-minute drive from the ALERIA Hotel, and the taxi fare was around 200 lira, so it was quite close. We were able to book the experience on the same day. They said it would take an hour, but it can finish in as little as 30 minutes. Even though it was short, I didn't feel it was too brief; rather, I was tired but made some fun memories and had a good experience. My 4-year-old loved it, and my 8-year-old absolutely adored it. Even my mother-in-law, who is in her 60s, initially thought it wouldn't be great but found it very enjoyable once she tried it! Apparently, the pottery village used to be a popular tourist destination! Since Turkish pottery is famous, I think it's a good idea to try the experience. It's best to allow an hour for it! ◡̈

I tasted a variety of wines, and learning about the history and production methods of Turkish wine while drinking made it much easier to understand and a wonderful experience! The price seems reasonable, so if you have some free time, I'd recommend giving it a try.

Amazing experience! Eren was really great and gave us lots of good tips! Did not feel rushed at all & it was super fun

I recently participated in the Cappadocia Red Tour, and to put it simply, I was completely satisfied. Cappadocia is vast, with many places requiring travel by car, and this tour took us to many wonderful spots at a reasonable price. Our Turkish guide was fantastic, explaining things with humorous jokes in Korean, which made my solo trip very enjoyable. The included buffet lunch offered a variety of dishes, and considering everything that was included, I believe it was an incredibly cost-effective trip. I highly recommend this tour to other Koreans!
