Experience the authentic spirit of Cappadocia with a visit to the charming town of Avanos, renowned for its historic pottery tradition. At the scheduled time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel to begin this journey into one of Turkey’s most emblematic cultural practices. Located on the banks of the Kızılırmak River, Avanos has been an artisan hub for centuries, where pottery has been passed down through generations.
Pottery in this region dates back to 2000 BC, reflecting a long-standing connection between art and heritage. We’ll visit a local workshop where a master craftsman will perform a live demonstration, shaping a piece of clay using traditional techniques. This will give you a deeper understanding of Turkish pottery and its enduring cultural value.
Next, you'll get hands-on experience by creating your own ceramic piece, decorating it to your taste. You’ll have fun shaping clay on the potter’s wheel, crafting plates, pots, or whatever your imagination inspires. It’s a perfect activity for families, friends, or solo travelers seeking a creative escape in a unique setting.
After this enriching and interactive experience, we’ll drop you off at your hotel approximately one hour after pickup. Along with your handmade creation, you'll take home a memorable experience of Cappadocia’s artistic heritage.
