5.00I don't think we could have asked for a better trip. We did not know what to expect coming to Kusadasi and decided to go with the walking food tour organized by Gokmen and our tour guide was Polat. Oh my goodness we saw so many places that we would not have seen and visited ourself. Polat has a great sense of humor, he is knowledgeable and took us to very cool and local places. It was hassle free, we had good conversations and ate so much food. This was the best trip we have been on in a long time. Thank you so very much for making this the most memorable day we have had on our trip.... We will come back and book another excursion with you guys and hopefully have Polat as our guide again.
Excellent and fun food experience around Kusadasi

A Real Food Walk

5.00We have been doing food walks across Europe over the last few years. They are a great way for foodies to soak up food (of course) but also a little local history and culture. This was one of the best. We don’t usually post pictures, but do see those appended here. The tour guide who asked to be called “Leesa,” was a licensed tour guide who studied tourism at the local university. While many food tours prominently feature the term “food,” this one was truly food forward. We were very grateful to have walking breaks from eating as the day went on. We started with Turkish bagels and cheeses. After some walking in the old city, we had Turkish coffee. Next was a visit to an ancient mosque. Next we tried a local delicacy often made with meat, but this time with wheat mixed with spices and olive oil. The vegetarian dish, served in lettuce leaves and drizzled with pomegranate syrup, is called çağ köfte. It was quite spicy, but fun to try something completely new to us. Somewhere along the way, we acquired some small local pastry treats (baklava of course) for a dessert to be had later. After more needed walking, we went to a dumpling shop where we watched the proprietor make tiny pork dumplings by hand. These were quickly boiled and topped with a tasty yogurt and sumac sauce. Looking back, this amazingly fresh dish might have been the best of the walk. Afterwards, we walked along the waterfront and then to a historicTurkish bath house. The inner rooms might possibly be the hottest places we have ever entered. Nearby was a huge Turkish china store with an artisan painting away. Beautiful inventory with many stories from the multi-generation owner. By now, we were wondering about gyros, and we were led to a local spot known for them. We asked the shop owner to give us each half as the calories were mounting up. It was wonderful in moderation. Four hours into the the walk, it was time for the final meal. This was held at a nice waterfront restaurant where seafood dishes were primary (calamari, shrimp, fish), but also some zucchini fritters and carrots with yogurt. Finally, we sampled the varieties of baklava that we had picked up earlier. This one richly deserves to mention “food” in the title.
A Food Tour and Much More!

Whether on a cruise stop over or visiting on your own, make sure to include a Kuşadası Food and Walking tour, you will always remember it
