🍇 Discover Urla, Turkey

Nestled in the heart of the Aegean coast, Urla is a hidden gem, just outside Izmir—the beloved hometown of our founder, Fulden. Inspired by her roots, Fulden has created a truly special experience blending local flavours, age-old traditions, and her personal passion for food and culture.

Explore bustling markets, enjoy coastal sunshine, and dive into hands-on cooking and baking sessions that bring Turkish cuisine to life—with Fulden as your warm and knowledgeable host.
