Featured Experience
Experience the 800-year-old Mukabele ceremony at Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi. Istanbul's hidden Mevlevi lodge, founded in the 1620s.
Der Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop ist sehr toll und es hat super Spaß gemacht. Die Hosts sind sehr freundlich und erklären einem sehr detailliert und man merkt, dass sie Ahnung haben, von dem was sie machen. Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen und es ist eine tolle 10/10 Experience, die etwas Abwechslung in das klassische Touri-Programm bringt!I did this activity with my family and we loved it. They teach you and help you create the best possible combination, but what I want to emphasize the most is the great service they gave us. Both instructors were lovely. Without them, the experience would have been more boring. They pleasantly surprised us. We definitely recommend it!!
Berra was a wonderful and kind host! Our class was very small (only my girlfriend and I) but we felt very at home. She was kind, knowledgeable and fun to chat with! We had a lot of fun painting our tiles and the workshop was relaxing to be in <3
Very interesting and thorough! She went into the history of coffee in Turkey and had interesting stories to share. The fortune telling seemed to be a bit of an add on to the end and wasn’t the best, but still worth taking the coffee making workshop. The business was very busy and well run, I also took a perfume making workshop here which I enjoyed as well. I’d recommend this workshop to others.I did this solo on a trip to Istanbul and it turned out to be one of my favorite experiences of the whole trip. The highlight is getting to create your own custom scent from scratch — you're guided through different fragrance notes, and by the end you walk away with a perfume that's genuinely yours. I loved how hands-on it was. Highly recommend!
I loved this activity so much! 👍👍👍 Turkey is already a major transportation hub, and spices are also a part of the culture. It's really satisfying to be able to personally create a perfume and then take it away with you. There are many options. In the past, I couldn't tell what scent was what when I smelled perfumes, but now I finally understand. And the young man was very professional, his explanation was very clear and detailed, and his English was also very good. He could make people understand the formula for blending perfumes right away. The most amazing thing is that he knew how to blend it just by smelling it and suggested the right proportions. In the end, the product was amazing. It was really fun. (And it gave me a chance to go to the Asian part of Istanbul. You should definitely try it.)
