Avanos is approximately 8 kilometers from the city center of Cappadocia. 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 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 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.

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.

Everything perfect, Mr. Bekir Kaynak is a perfect guide.
The tour about Historical Pottery is absolutely well done.
I advise everyone to book an experience with Emoji Tourism.
