Yediburunlar Lighthouse Cooking School

Up until 2008, guests have visited the Yediburunlar lighthouse to relax in the spectacular surroundings, to enjoy the specially designed day trips that the hotel runs to help you experience as much of the region as possible, and finally to gorge themselves on the delectable cuisine produced by Semra, the hotel chef. As if all this isn’t motive enough to spend a week at the hotel enjoying the Turkish sun and lounging around by the pool, at the hotel you can now do a week cooking course to learn how to whip up a 6 course meze feast of dishes like smoked aubergine with cheese sauce, sautéed mushrooms, walnuts, onion, garlic and cumin or fried Haloumi cheese with red peppers. Most of the food will be vegetarian, but you’ll also be barbecuing aromatic fish in the Turkish sunshine and using the best organic produce the region has to offer. You can work off all the eating by going on organised walks to local secluded beaches and swimming in the crystal clear water to cool off during one of the hotel’s weekly gulet cruises.
