    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Очень интересное и атмосферное мероприятие, отличный способ провести время, если хочется разбавить путешествие не только историческими местами. Азиз подробно рассказал о возникновении кофейной традиции в Турции и всех секретах приготовления кофе, а завершилось все гаданием на кофейной гуще и приятными подарками. 💯 рекомендация

    This place is amazing: super cosy, beautifully arranged and peaceful. We attended a perfume workshop and everything was organised very well. Definitely worth the money experience. Our host was welcoming and informative, we are totally satisfied with the final result. If you plan a trip to Istanbul do not miss this place and the Asian side, they are both a must.

    Perfume Making Workshop review

    I was initially hesitant to book this workshop since I didn’t see any reviews before booking it but went ahead anyway. The workshop is conducted by a company called Istanbul Workshops. The perfume expert unfortunately had an accident that morning so another professional had to step in and guide us. It was such a fun experience to learn about the art of making perfume, try different scents and make my own. It didn’t feel awkward at all even though I went alone. It was very interactive and I’m glad I’ve got my own perfume to remind me of my trip to Istanbul.

    Todo genial. Una muy bonita experiencia. El guía te recibe en un punto que te dice y no tienes que pagar el transporte de ida. La vuelta si. La actividad es en la parte asiática. Te lo explican muy bien y mientras se seca la lámpara, te das una vuelta. Hay variedad de colores con que hacer la lámpara. Sin duda repetiría.
