Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Un esperienza meravigliosa, Mustafa è estremamente cordiale e gentile. Abbiamo passato due ore immersi nei racconti bellissimi sulla cultura e storia del caffe turco. Apprezzo molto il fatto di poter incontrarsi alla fermata del tram, e arrivare assieme al luogo del workshop in quanto non molto abituata ai mezzi pubblici in Istanbul. Alle fine del workshop ci aspettavano pure i regali, che trovo davvero commuovente. Esperienza davvero piacevole e la consiglio a tutti.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

This is a great workshop to do for anyone curious about Turkish coffee and how to make it. Our instructor Mustafa was excellent - enthusiastic, informative and very skilled at making coffee. He made the experience very enjoyable. The workshop was well paced and ran very professionally. The takeaway gift of coffee making implements at the end was sensational! I highly recommend this workshop.

Turkish Tile - Ceramic Art Workshop review

The workshop was lovely and made a great souvenir. Two important notes though!! The workshop is in Üsküdar on the Asian side so schedule for that. Second, it’s in a studio inside a café and there is lot of cigarette smoke (which is everywhere in Istanbul but here you sit for a few hours - potentially with kids like us).

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This was a blast! Get to make your own Turkish lamp in a cool setting with a great guide all while they feed you tea and cookies. Such fun and phenomenal instruction! They do a great job of making a lamp easy without doing it for you.

C’était une super activité ! Les guides étaient adorables et l’activité très sympa. Nous ressortons ravis de nos jolies lampes 😄 Attention, l’atelier est sur la rive asiatique. Les guides viennent nous chercher et nous y emmène en métro donc c’est très simple mais il faut prévoir le temps de trajet dans votre planning :)
