This September, renowned chef and local restaurateur John Bishop is embarking on a 16-day historical, cultural and culinary tour of Turkey and invites other passionate foodies and travel junkies to join him for this experience of a lifetime.
In addition to learning how to cook regional delicacies and sharing meals with expert local chefs, perhaps the best part of this adventure is that $500 from the sale of each tour package will benefit a charity very close to Bishop’s heart, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
“Since becoming involved with the JDRF in 2001, I’ve been amazed by the passion and dedication of volunteers, and the relentless focus the JDRF has towards its mission of finding a cure for diabetes,” said Bishop. “I am proud to be part of this legacy and look forward to sharing this incredible journey that I’m sure will inspire every traveler.”
Bishop is looking to host 22 guests to raise money for this important cause, which was brought to his attention by the struggles of his close friends’ son. While supporting the JDRF, guests will have the opportunity to bask in the Mediterranean sun on a boat surrounded by crystal clear waters and walk the marble streets of Ephesus, the former Asian capital of the Roman Empire. Other tour highlights include, exploring the underground cities of Cappadocia and, from Istanbul, watching the sun set over Europe.
