Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Mir hat der Workshop außerordentlich gut gefallen. Bünyamin war sehr nett und hat die Geschichte des Kaffees in der Türkei sehr interessant vorgestellt. Der selbstgemachte Kaffee war super lecker und das Set zum mit nach Hause nehmen perfekt um das Kaffee Ritual in der Heimat vorzuführen.

The workshop was very well-organized. The space is very cozy and cute. The instructors / guides were friendly, patient, and well-informed about what they are offering. The area is also really nice to walk around and discover while you're at it - overall it's a 10/10, would definitely recommend!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Es wurde im Vorfeld Kontakt aufgenommen und drei Optionen geboten wo man sich treffen kann. Auch kurzfristige Änderungen dass man doch den Treffpunkt gewechselt hat, waren kein Problem. Es wurde kostenlos Tee und Kaffee gereicht. Zeynep hat uns gut etwas zu den traditionellen Lampen erzählt und uns geholfen diese zu designen und fertig zu stellen. Ich finde es war ein gelungener Workshop

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

A very good experience if you have a couple of hours free in your itinerary. Only drawback is that this is on the Asia side so commute especially for this can be a hassle. Would recommend to cover this on your Asia-side day. Ali is a good guide who helped me reschedule the workshop as my flight got delayed. Great giveaways as well. I am going to remember this experience.

Attending the Turkish mosaic lamp class in Istanbul was an absolute delight! Alina, the instructor, showcased a remarkable level of thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Her guidance made the intricate art of mosaic crafting accessible and enjoyable. The constant flow of coffee and tea refills added a warm touch to the experience, enhancing the overall ambiance. The location itself was superb, providing a captivating backdrop to the creative process. An unforgettable experience blending art, culture, and hospitality!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Bellissima attività! Alí è stato un istruttore perfetto: chiaro, paziente e disponibile. Ci ha accompagnato dal punto d’incontro fino al laboratorio ed oltre all’attività ha saputo darci ottimi consigli sulla città. L’attività può essere svolta anche da chi non parla un ottimo inglese. Bravissimi! Le lampade realizzate sono un ricordo che ora illumina la nostra casa.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We absolutely loved this workshop! We were picked up right at 2:30 on the European side and brought over to the shop via metro. We were given tea, coffee, and cookies as we learned about the history of the lamps. They had many colors and choices, and all the other guests were great. Be mindful that the lamp is wired to Turkish voltage and plugs, and as an American I’ll have to figure out how to get it rewired so it can work at home.
