The city and its surrounding area are known for their mysterious fairy chimneys, early Christian rock churches and fine vineyards.

Hot air ballooning is very popular, and a fantastic way to see the area's beauty from above.

We renovated and restored our traditional stone arch house to accommodate the Cappadocia Home Cooking School and Restaurant, which is located in the small village of Ayvalı, just 10 km. faraway from Ürgüp. Cooking school run by a family, this is why we want you to feel that our home is your home. We want you to enjoy Turkish hospitality and tradition. We also use only natural fruits, vegetables and spices farmed in our own garden. Of course you get to savor of this authentic Turkish food in our restaurant, after we have prepared them together! We are living in a traditional stone arch house of Cappadocia, which we are lovingly restored to accommodate our family runs Home Cooking School.

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.
