Of course, food is great! You will get to taste a traditional Turkish clay pot dinner. We got home to the hotel around 11 pm.”

“Fun and lighthearted experience with good food and really easy to meet nice new people. Two points to note though were they only came round to offer drinks twice. They also didn’t have our booking even when presented with our voucher, email confirmation and WhatsApp correspondence which meant we had to wait awkwardly at the side for a while before being seated.”

“We were picked up on time, just two of us in the minivan. A short drive to the beautiful caravanserai at Saruhan. The ceremony was mesmerising, with reed music and drum to start, while the dervishes prayed, before starting the whirling part of the ceremony. It was truy beautiful to watch. At the end, you are given a chance to take photos before having sherbet and visiting the small onsite shop. Our guide/ driver was excellent, and very attentive. We weren't left trying to find him at the end. Altogether, a very good experience.Read more”
