10 Classes & Workshops in Cappadocia That You Shouldn't Miss
Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Ebru art, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. NAİLE BOZKURT Intangible cultural heritage is CARRIERS. WHAT IS EBRU? One of the most common methods of decorating, bookbinding the endpapers of hand-bound books is Ebru. Classic Turkish Ebru, which is also known as Turkish marbled paper, is made by drawing designs with paint on water, and then carefully placing paper (or materials, such as glass etc.) on the surface of the water in order to absorb the paint. Ebru seems magical, and yet it is improbably simple. The basics haven’t changed very much over the past several hundred years. It still involves depositing bits of color on the surface of water.

My family loves to travel. Some of our favorite things about traveling to a new country are meeting its people, learning about the culture and, of course, trying their food. How could we pass up an opportunity to do all 3 along with learning to cook some regional specialties in a local family’s home. We heard about Cappadocia Home Cooking from our hotel owner so we booked a cooking class for my wife, daughter and myself. What we got was a chance to hangout with 3 generations of a Turkish family and cook with them in their kitchen, which has been modified to conduct classes. Tolga Duran and his family are charming, fun and informative and we had a great time getting to know them and learning some local recipes. Our class and then dinner lasted about 3 hours. You can be as hands on in the class as you choose to be and best of all you get to eat all of your creations, as well as some of theirs, afterwards. We highly recommend the experience.

I was very lucky to meet Melih and his wonderful wife. Melih’s works are full of light not only because of the lamp inside, but also because of the positive energy and enlightenment of their creator that illuminates everything around. Learning from Melih was very entertaining, it felt like home and time flew very fast chatting, sining, laughing and creating a lamp under close supervision. It was a very inspiring experience that I would highly recommend to others. And now I will have a pice of this wonderful world at my home, that will remind me of Cappadocia and amazing people that I’ve met here.

Akhal-Teke horse ranch organizes excellent multi-day rides and expeditions. The herd of mostly Arabian and Arabian cross mares are very well looked after 'family members' and are naturally tough and athletic. Nimbly they cross this sometimes challenging terrain with ease and are always eager to move out at speed when asked. Several horses are also Turkish endurance champions. They are well trained as trekking horses and there is a horse to suit every kind of rider temperament and ability. Ercihan is an enthusiastic and high experienced guide, as is his son Bekir. It is a real joy experiencing this strangely beautiful and fascinating environment with them.
