    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Очень приятный мастер-класс по созданию светильников. Объяснялись на смеси русского и английского, но этого было достаточно для понимания :) организаторы встретили на европейской стороне и проводили до места проведения - это очень уютное и атмосферное кафе, где приятно и рукоделием заниматься и просто кофе попить. В череде прогулок, экскурсий и моря впечатлений было приятно немного сбавить темп и поделать что-то руками, да и сувенир hand made много приятнее купленного в магазине :)

    I will keep it short as there are already many good reviews, but I really had a great experience at this workshop. The history behind the Turkish coffee was told in a very entertaining way, the host was funny and engaging and I loved making the coffee.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Insgesamt hat uns diese Aktivität gefallen! Es war interessant mit der Aleyna diese orientalischen Lampen zu gestalten, sie gibt Inspirationen und verrät immer wieder coole, interessante Informationen über Istanbul. Insgesamt haben wir ca. 2 Stunden für diese Aktivität gebraucht und wir fanden ca. 36€ pro Person ein wenig zu teuer, da wir Studenten sind aber ich denke, als einmaliges Ereignis kann man das gerne mal machen. Schöne Erinnerung!

    It was amazing. Bunyan I met us on the European side and we had a nice conversation as we took the train to the Asian side and walked to the fun workshop/cafe. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the family and were excited with our special lamps.

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Мастер-класс был интересным. Нас забрали из Европейской части и помогли добраться до кафе в Азиатской части. Атмосфера заведения приятная (но это не отдельная комната, рядом проходят люди). Обсудили историю появления кофе в Турции и традиции. Также попробовали сварить два вида кофе на газовой горелке (на выбор). Из приятного - перед началом раздали питьевую воду в квадратом стакане (очень по-турецки). Из минусов: первый человек, который пробует варить один из видов кофе, по сути сам его не варит (ему помогают во всем), поэтому остаётся ощущение, что сам не сварил себе эту чашку кофе, а попробовать сварить еще одну нет возможности. Скорректируйте, пожалуйста, этот момент на будущее ;)

    The activity was super great and interesting. Aziz told us a lot about Turkey's coffee culture and the atmosphere was super friendly. We had the opportunity of trying different type of coffee (the pistachio one was delicious!) and even got a gift in the end. We completely recommend! Thanks Aziz for this moment.
