Description
Pottery in this region dates back to 2000 BC during the Hittites period. Throughout history, human beings have been creative by using the resources provided by the soil for their own benefit in daily life. For centuries, local people have been taking this clay and using traditional old pottery wheels to make various items such as wine jugs, cooking utensils and souvenirs ever since Turkey embraced tourism.

Started off well but was...
Started off well but was extremely rushed experience of actual pottery, main focus was to sell their handmade goods which were overpriced. Pushy with sales and no interest shown in tour once we said we were not interested in buying a £400 wine decanter. Avoid

Bekir deserves the world!
Bekir was the perfect tour guide to take us to our pottery class and to love valley afterwards. He was so friendly and knowledgeable of the area, we couldn’t have asked for anything better than him.

Great historical pottery workshop & wine tasting
Bekir picked us up on time, brought us to the pottery workshop, we were given time to look at everything and afterwards Bekir drove us to the Red Valley for traditional wine and snack tasting. We really liked it, thank you Bekir, we can highly recommend the tour.

Great local pottery tour booked at last minute
We were picked up on time. The pottery factory was very interesting. The prices are high but the quality of the work is amazing and there was no pressure to buy. It was really fun to try to throw a piece on the pottery wheel. On the way back to Goreme we stopped at a beautiful viewpoint and had a glass of local wine and some snacks. Overall a great experience. Can totally recommend.

For an approach to mud culture it is excellent.
The drive to and from was great. Talking to Bekir Kaynak who is local and speaks Spanish was great as we were able to know more facts about the region, culture and gastronomy. The activity was brief but pleasant.
