Add this to your list of must do activities in Istanbul! A chance to slow down, and craft something unique and have a truly memorable experience. I took my kids and parents, and I think this will be the highlight of their trip.

trop trop trop long ...2h alors que l activité en elle même dure 15 a 20min. la personne pourrait donner moins d explications et les donner en même temps que l activité pour réduire au moins d une heure la prestation. sinon activité intéressante, agréable de faire et boire son propre café turc.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Der Kurs war wirklich schön und eine tolle Abwechslung zum normalen Sightseeing Programm. Die Lampen sind alle wirklich schön geworden. Leider gab es nicht jede Farbe der Mosaiksteine an jedem Tisch.

Perfume Making Workshop review

One of the best activities you will find around. The organizers were experienced and knowledgeable and put together an experience enjoyed by every single participant. The location really good, the offer of constant coffee/tea/water generous, the staff professional. Huge congrats to our trainer, Mustafa, who was able to handle a large group of people, answered all our questions without fail, was clear, communicative, funny and personable. He helped us create our own perfume out of 70 different scents; it is as enjoyable and delightful as it sounds! I would highly recommend it!

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

The activity was well organised with clear instructions and friendly assistants. It was hard work to get it done in the time but everyone did it. The coloured glass pieces available to build the mosaics were limited in terms of colour. Most of us had to change our colour choices. That said, the results were surprising and beautiful. Great to do this with friends and family. Tea and water served throughout. They also did other workshops (eg perfume workshop) which I'd explore in my next trip.

10歳の子供と一緒に参加致しました ひし型の小さなガラス片を組み合わせてモザイクを作っていくのですが、お茶を飲みながら他の参加者の方たちとなごやかに時間を過ごすことができました。 ワークショップの方達にわかりやすく、親切な指導をしていただきました。 他にも色々なワークショップが同時進行しているので、次回イスタンブルに訪問する際は、他のワークショップも体験してみたいです。 旧市街地のシルケジ駅からガイドさんと一緒にマルマライ線に乗ってウスクダル駅のワークショップに行くので、ワークショップの後に個人でアジア側の観光も出来ます。
