Tour overview

Hatay cuisine is like a cuisine symphony with unique musical notes and rhythm that is different from any other cuisines in many aspects. If you are inclined to listen, you may catch the special cultural tasty melodies at each and every table from breakfast to dinner and from night-kanafeh to the flavors that reflect the rituals of different religions’ specific days. Mediterranean cuisine culture’s vegetable and olive oil effect are highly strong on Hatay cuisine. In fact, even “olive crumbs”, obtained during olive oil production, are added into a leavened dough and turned into delicious “Olive Crumb Bread” ready to be served at the table. When you taste this bread, you may find yourself visiting an olive museum that is thousands of years old in Tokaşlı village and hearing the olive tree that Homer talks about: “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody. I was here before you came. I will still be here after you leave.”
