Offered in: English

Turkish cuisine can't be discussed without paying special attention to the Turkish breakfast. It is a truly unique start to the day, with a line-up of tastes all it's own. Most Turkish folks begin their mornings just like the rest of the world. Breakfast in Turkey is not just a necessity; it's a traditional family gathering, a sit-down affair with a line-up of tastes all its own that you start looking forward to the night before.

You will find yourself searching the markets for the best quality olives and cheeses, seeking out the freshest tomatoes and becoming an expert at blending teas to make that perfect aromatic brew each morning.

UNESCO listed place; The ancient city of Ephesus (Ephesos) takes you on an unforgettable journey through history; etched on minds as the home of the Blessed Virgin Mary, stretching back to the Neolithic period and inhabited in the greatest period of the Roman Empire.

    Turkish cuisine can't be discussed without paying special attention to the Turkish breakfast. It is a truly unique start to the day, with a line-up of tastes all it's own. Most Turkish folks begin their mornings just like the rest of the world. Breakfast in Turkey is not just a necessity; it's a traditional family gathering, a sit-down affair with a line-up of tastes all its own that you start looking forward to the night before. Each morning the tea is lovingly brewed, and the table is set with small plates and flatware designed especially for eating breakfast foods in bite-size portions. Foods are arranged elegantly no matter how modest the table. A classic Turkish breakfast, better known as 'kahvaltı' (kah-VAHL'-tuh) consists of fresh cheeses like feta and kashkaval, black and green olives, fresh-baked white bread, fruit preserves, honey, sweet butter and plenty of brewed black tea served in Turkish tea glasses.
