Roughly translating to "sky people," the Gagauz are a unique blend of ethnically Turkic and Christian Orthodox, that live in the south of Moldova. During this tour you will discover the traces of Turkish influence in their food, the hints of Balkan style in the way they dress and of course, their language, that is actually the remaining, distinguishing ingredient.

What To Expect

Gagauzia lies 100km south of Chişinău but is a world apart from the cosmopolitan capital. After a 2 hours drive, we will reach Comrat, their cultural heart. Here you will learn that Gagauzians are the only representatives of Turkish origin that affiliated with the Eastern Orthodox Church. They migrated from Bulgaria and settled in Moldova in XIX century. Nowadays, Gagauzia is an autonomous region in our country. By noon, we will experience authentic Gagauz lifestyle in Congaz village. Gagauz Sofrasi guest house boasts a complex that reproduces the atmosphere and charm of traditional peasant houses: stoves, small wooden windows, shingle and traditional wool rugs. Local ethnographic museum offers genuine clothes for you to try on and make colourful pictures. You will also take part at a cooking master class of Gozleme, a traditional Gagauz pastry. Once your culinary achievements are ready, we will taste flavoured homemade wines in the house wine cellar. Our tour will end with a delicious lunch, where you will enjoy local specialities from lamb, cheese and other delicacies.

  • Turkish minority in the South of Moldova

    I loved this tour so much !!! In the South of Moldova there is a autonomous region that belongs to the Turkish minority, a population that was displaced here some 200 years ago, who still speak an older form of Turkish, preserve good bits of their culture, but are orthodox not muslim. I loved learning about their mixed culture, their history, the FOOD and wine were AMAZING and we could buy various wines and dried herbs, and the house we visited is reconstructed in such a way to experience different parts of their culture - type of rooms they had, wine cellar with water well, traditional architecture etc. Moldova is such a tiny country but sooo diverse and interesting!
