You will visit a local mosque, village house, meet a village chief and sample traditional Turkish food.
Your day starts with the pick-up from your hotel at around 11 am depending on hotel location and drive away from the seascapes and the bustle of the city to the village. On arrival to the rural area, you will have a tea/coffee break in a local coffee house and the tour guide will provide you with general information about the village life in Turkey.

Great value for money. They took us from our rented accommodation late morning. The tours group was only 6 people, I guess we were lucky. We visited a village house. The owner could not have been more hospitable.

You will be surprised how much you can learn about a society in a day. Our guide explained us briefly about the village life and traditions of the country. Turkish people have lots of unique habits, such as taking shoes out when you visit a house, Islamic rituals and many more. Their cuisine is also great. It is not only the kebabs. Local food and fresh fruits are all so delicious. It was an excellent day trip.
