Spend a relaxed afternoon in Fenerbahçe with Günseli, a fashion designer, and Burak, a cinematographer, in their lived in 1990s style apartment near the sea. You will be welcomed into their home, meet their adopted dogs and cats, and then sit down together for a vegetarian Turkish lunch with dishes like vegetable meze, yaprak sarma, and su böreği. Over coffee, the conversation turns to their creative work and everyday inspiration, from Turkish flora and a Mediterranean wild flower archive to fashion and film projects. To close, you will choose three or four of their dogs and take an easy walk along the Dalyan coast, with time to talk, breathe in the sea air, and enjoy the neighborhood at a local pace before saying goodbye.

This is not a restaurant meal or a staged activity. It is time inside a real Istanbul home hosted by two working artists who share their daily life with adopted animals. The experience blends a vegetarian Turkish table, thoughtful conversation about fashion, film, and Turkish flora, and a gentle seaside walk in Fenerbahçe with a few of their dogs. The setting, the hosts’ creative perspective, and the feeling of being welcomed into a human and animal family are what make it different. 🧡
