Turkish Delight & Tea Tasting
Antalya, Turkey
About This Activity
Discover the art of Turkish delight (lokum) at an artisan confectionery in Kaleiçi or the bazaar quarter. Taste varieties ranging from classic rose water and pistachio to exotic pomegranate and saffron. Learn about the centuries-old production process and the difference between factory and handmade lokum. Combine with a visit to a traditional çay bahçesi (tea garden) to sample black tea from the Eastern Black Sea region, served in tulip-shaped glasses alongside the sweets.
