Featured Experience
Experience the 800-year-old Mukabele ceremony at Kasımpaşa Mevlevihanesi. Istanbul's hidden Mevlevi lodge, founded in the 1620s.
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.It was so so fun! Loved the communication beforehand and Bahar came to pick us up and guide us to the workshop from a meeting point which was very easy to find (and paid for our travel!). We were greeted very warmly by everyone once we arrived and served snacks and drinks. Zanib who ran our workshop was a delight. So knowledgeable and fun to interact with. Getting to smell so many scents and really being able to choose something unique to you was amazing and if in any doubt Zanib was there to offer her excellent guidance. I would recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in making perfume or even just looking to fill a couple of hours.The show was great. But the organizers should not allow to participate with small babies. There were 3 babies in the show and it was very difficult to focus on the show, as they were crying etc. for most time.Einzigartig, informativ und man hat ein tolles Mitbringsel (Im Preis inklusive!) Keine Verkaufsveranstaltung. Nicht einmal wurde irgendetwas zum Verkauf angeboten! Top Man wird warm empfangen. Bekommt wie versprochen Kekse und Tee - 5-10min Geschichte erklärt und dann wird selbst Hand angelegt. Nicht überfüllt. Wir waren nur 10 Leute. Unser Kurs war auf Englisch. Im Grunde waren aber 95% Prozent der Anwesenden deutsch. Schade aber kein Problem. Zeitlich wird man gut fertig es sei denn man ist zu perfektionistisch. Am Ende wird die Lampe von einer der Damen kontrolliert und nochmal geprüft, dass auch alles kleben bleibt und korrekt gemacht wurde. Wer geizig ist sollte morgens um 9 den Kurs belegen - oft etwas billiger. Preis Leistung top Danke!We had an amazing time at this mosaic lamp workshop! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the whole experience was really fun and enjoyable. The workshop was very hands-on and felt really rewarding from start to finish. We also got tea and homemade cookies, which were so delicious! The best part was definitely seeing our lamps light up at the end, such a satisfying and proud moment after making them ourselves. Would totally recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun and creative!What a fun activity - the guides were very informative and gave a great history lesson of it - definitely worth it, I would do it again. Recommend getting there about 10 minutes before the workshop. The place is really nice as well. As for the fortune…. I am still waiting for that billion dollar jackpot!!! Ha!!
