About this tour

Rich and highly caffeinated, Turkish coffee is enjoyed in many countries around the world. It’s unfiltered, so it has a higher concentration of caffeine and other beneficial compounds that may provide several health benefits.

Turkish coffee is a rich, thick, and delightful drink to be enjoyed slowly with good company. It is brewed in a copper coffee pot called a cezve (jez-VEY), made with powder-like ground coffee, and sweetened to the drinker’s taste. Creating the perfect cup of Turkish coffee is a splendid way to show off your coffee-making skills. Thanks to this tour that also includes a coffee-making class, you’ll discover traditional techniques to make a perfect cup of Turkish coffee. Alongside your professional guide, enjoy learning the craft of coffee production at a shop, plus sit in a delicious coffee at a few local establishments.

Our guide was Diana, and she was really great. She took us to places we wouldn’t get there not even by chance. Also gave us an amazing journey to different coffee shops, and at the end, the tour felt like traveling with a friend.
