Gozleme lady

One of the tastiest treats you can have whilst on any Turkish gulet cruises is a Gozleme - or otherwise referred to as Turkish pancake. Gozleme will come either sweet or savoury and we say if you can fit in both, have them as they are so delicious. Whilst on the boat you are actually really spoilt as some of the best Gozleme in Turkey are served to you right onboard your gulet. As you anchor down at St Nicholas Island for the evening, keep an eye out of the little wooden rowing boats that are always nearby.

Onboard you will see a little lady, sitting cross-legged near a table rolling out and cooking pancake after pancake. This is no mean feat either. The Turkish mama has probably been up the night before preparing all her ingredients and making her dough. You will get to witness this wonderful cook as she will roll out the dough until it is paper-thin. She will then fill it with your choice of filling - spinach and cheese being the most popular along with banana and chocolate for the sweet option. She will then cook it on the little hot plate and will serve it to you whilst still hot. Your mouth will water whilst you wait for it to cool down enough to eat. Hungry or not you can always find room for that pancake. You will surely have to wait your turn as you will not be the only one wanting one, the lady will be there for up to an hour cooking pancake after pancake to fill all your bellies. And you know they are good as even the crew from the Turkish gullet are lining up for their share. Be sure to have your camera ready as it is also a great photo opportunity.
