Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Bunyamin is a fantastic host who takes the time out to learn about you, share about his life, and genuinely makes you feel at home. They lamp making process is a matter of art and steady hands. They show you how to make a lamp without making it a hard process. While the lamp dries they treat you to amazing food that you can’t find in your home country. This is a must do activity when you’re in Istanbul.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

You can drink Turkish Coffee anywhere but drinking real Turkish Coffee with the proper etiquette and knowledge of how it’s made takes the experience to a whole new level. Ali picks everyone up first and then takes them to his cafe where you can hangout and unwind until you’re ready. He gives an amazing presentation on Turkish coffee and it’s history which makes the brewing of it even more enjoyable. They also treat you to sweets, and different types of coffee. When you’re in Istanbul, this is a must go.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

This is the lamp workshop to choose! Bunyamin and his team went above and beyond to ensure I had a one-of-a-kind experience to make the lamp of my dreams. They provide an escort and guide for easy and safe transport to get to the workshop location. The shop itself is unique and magical. Excellent hospitality and warm personalities all around. Couldn’t recommend more.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Probably the best activity I’ve done in Istanbul because the people that run the class are so passionate and friendly! Ali even came to meet me in person to make it easier to get to the workshop. The place itself is in a really cool cafe in the Asian side of Istanbul. Ali told us about the history of Turkish coffee, showed us how to make it, and even gave us a gift to take home. We then had a tea and a chat afterwards and he gave me recommendations in Istanbul. If you give someone good coffee, it creates a friendship that last for 40 years! This place is the best!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Мастер-класс прошел в очень дружеской обстановке. Рассказали о кофе, его истории, о необычных фактах :) Безусловно сам процесс варки кофе был интригующим, теперь умею варить его с пенкой. В общем, если вам хочется чего-то немного другого, помимо посещения основных достопримечательностей, вполне можете разнообразить себе досуг таким мероприятием.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Посетила мастер класс по турецкому кофе с Азизом. Рассказали историю создания кофе, показали несколько вариантов его приготовления а также научили гадать на кофейной гуще. Все очень классно организовано, на мастер классе была очень уютная, даже домашняя атмосфера. Много шутили, смеялись, я никак не ожидала что будет так легко и интересно. Меня тронуло что одной из участниц вынесли тортик, так как у неё день рождения. В конце даже дали мини подарочек, что было очень мило. Ребята огромные молодцы,я вышла с мк с кучей положительных эмоций - однл из самый ярких воспоминаний в моей поездке. Очень советую, лучшее погружение в культуру Турции. Спасибо организаторам и лично Азизу !!

Es war sehr spannend und interessant die Lämpchen zu basteln. Was aber mir gefällt hat ist Kaffee/Tee, da unser Workshop um 9:00 startete. Ich hätte mir auch gewünscht paar Tips und Tricks oder mehr Hintergrund zur diesen Kunst.
