Perfume Making Workshop review

Es war eine coole Erfahrung die wir in Istanbul sammeln konnten! Der Guide war sehr nett und auch das Setting hat uns gut gefallen. Ich hätte mir ein wenig mehr Unterstützung bezüglich was vielleicht besser nicht zusammenpasst oder seltsam riechen könnte gewünscht, da wir absolut keine Ahnung zuvor hatten — aber das ist jetzt wirklich nur eine mikrige Anmerkung. Es lohnt sich im Grossen und Ganzen!

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Restorasyon sonrası kullanıma açılan bu eşsiz manevi eser, harika bir görünüme kavuşmuş. Bahçesinde keçe, hat, ebru, çini gibi Osmanlı dönemi el sanatları yaşatılmaya devam ediyor. Emeği geçen herkesten Allah razı olsun.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Классный мастер класс! Азиз со знанием дела рассказывает о кофе, очень хорошо говорит по русски. Научил готовить классический турецкий кофе, горький и ещё угостил вечерним кофе (обалденный вкус), а подарки это бомба). Гадальщица из меня, конечно, никакая, но, когда разглядывал мою чашку с кофе, то Азиз считал меня достаточно профессионально. Вобщем прикольно всё! Спасибо огромное, всем рекомендую!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

It was a special experience for me to make Turkish Mosaic Lamp in traditional-way . People were nice there and the time has passed so quickly because we concentrated on making beautiful Mosaic things. I spent all Energy in this class! But this was worth to do it. I really enjoyed this special time. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed this class. Because of my poor English, I couldn’t speak a lot of my feelings there. The teacher was kind and funny and handsome! lol He can tell nice fortune story if you are lucky! I do recommend this lesson when you are in Istanbul! It was a lovely experience to me. Thank you!

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
