Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Tesadüfen kapısını gördük. Bu kadar geniş bir yer beklemiyorduk. Çok güzel restore edilmiş ve faaliyete devam ediyor. İstanbul her yanı tarihi eser dolu. Görevliler de ilgilenip gezdirdiler. Tarihini anlattılar. Yolunuz düşerse uğrayın. Semazenler belli günlerde çıkıyormuş..

Whirling Dervishes Ceremony at a Real Mevlevihane review

Turist kalabalığından uzak, güzel ve otantik bir Sema deneyimi. Mekan huzurlu, bakımlı ve yerel bir mahallede bulunuyor; bu da törenin Eski Şehir'deki ticari gösterilerden çok daha samimi hissettirmesini sağladı. Gelecek ziyaretçiler için bir ipucu: Özellikle yoğun saatlerde Google Haritalar'ın otobüs seyahat sürelerine güvenmeyin. Google bana Eski Şehir'den otobüsle 15 dakika süreceğini söyledi, ancak yoğun trafik neredeyse bir saate çıkardı. Daha iyi seçenek, M2 metrosunu kullanmak ve en yakın istasyondan yürümektir. Yokuş yukarı yürüyüşe değer ve çok daha güvenilir. Törenin kendisi güzel ve saygılıydı. Salonun içindeki müzik, ilahiler ve hafif koku, sakin bir atmosfer yarattı. Umarım daha fazla insan bu yeri bilir. Çarşamba günü yapılan gösteride sadece birkaç ziyaretçi var. İstanbul'da otantik bir kültürel ve manevi deneyim arayan herkese şiddetle tavsiye edilir.

Workshop boyunca çok keyifli vakit geçirdik. Naz Hoca son derece ilgili ve destekleyiciydi. Atölyenin sıcak ve samimi atmosferi her şeyi daha da güzelleştirdi. Çay ve kahve eşliğinde hem hoş sohbetler ettik hem de birbirinden güzel ürünler ortaya çıkardık. Keyifli, verimli ve unutulmaz bir etkinlikti

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop w/ Materials & Snacks review

We had a lovely time at the workshop! All Materials, the lamp, snacks and drinks are included in the price. The teachers were very kind and friendly, patient, explained about history and gave great tips. It’s definitely worth the price and we will consider to join another workshop at the place. Highly recommend! Thanks for the great time! 🌞

Perfume Making Workshop review

It was so so fun! Loved the communication beforehand and Bahar came to pick us up and guide us to the workshop from a meeting point which was very easy to find (and paid for our travel!). We were greeted very warmly by everyone once we arrived and served snacks and drinks. Zanib who ran our workshop was a delight. So knowledgeable and fun to interact with. Getting to smell so many scents and really being able to choose something unique to you was amazing and if in any doubt Zanib was there to offer her excellent guidance. I would recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in making perfume or even just looking to fill a couple of hours.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Loved this activity making the lamp. A perfect keepsake to bring home. The girls in the shop were lovely! The snacks weren’t much, so don’t plan on skipping any meals. But the tea and coffee was very good. The lamp is the important part, and absolutely wonderful!

Eğitmen Mustafa bey gerçekten çok kibar ve ilgiliydi. Atölyenin sitesinde ingilizce olduğu yazılması rağmen hem ingilizce hem türkçe anlatımla ilerlenerek hiç bir sorun yaşanmadı. Oldukça memnun kaldık.

Leather Crafting Workshop with a Local Artisan review

You can write a balanced and constructive review like this: The workshop environment was quite enjoyable. Sufficient materials were prepared for the participants, and refreshments were also considered. The information provided about leather and the presentation were clear and informative. However, the instructor's attention was sometimes insufficient. In addition, the mold used in the study was of a single type and was based on a standard model prepared in advance. Therefore, the opportunity to create more original designs was limited. Overall, it's an introductory experience to leather craftsmanship where you can have a nice time. However, those who expect a very professional, personalized, design-oriented, or comprehensive leatherworking training should adjust their expectations accordingly.

Create a signature scent in Istanbul review

I did this activity with my family and we loved it. They teach you and help you create the best possible combination, but what I want to emphasize the most is the great service they gave us. Both instructors were lovely. Without them, the experience would have been more boring. They pleasantly surprised us. We definitely recommend it!!

Perfume Making Workshop review

Absolutely loved it! This was probably one of the best workshops I’ve ever attended. Since we were staying on the European side of Istanbul and the workshop is on the Asian side, Ebiha gave us very clear instructions and even met us at the meeting point. It took us around 20 minutes to get there. We were welcomed by a young man named Mustafa, who was incredibly kind, calm, and patient. He speaks excellent English and took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answering all of our questions. He taught us the basics of perfume making and shared many little tips and tricks to help us create the perfect fragrance. We created our own 50 ml EDP which is the perfect souvenir from Istanbul. The workshop takes place in a lovely little open-air café, comfortably shaded, which created the most pleasant and relaxing atmosphere possible. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul!
