    The Legends of Istanbul at the Theatre was a lovely production taking one through the history of Istanbul - both legend and real. I really enjoyed it - it was interesting and informative and the technology used was great!

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Firstly, the communication from the team is very good. They got in touch via WhatsApp with precise details of the meeting point. from there we went to the Asian side via the metro for the activity. The workshop was super fun, therapeutic activity. They explain the history behind it and the step by step process to make and design the lamp. They served us cay (Turkish tea) with cookies. Once the lamp is ready, they need to let it dry for around 40 mins. During this time you can enjoy the cafe. They served complimentary Turkish coffee. I highly recommend to do this activity, but keep in mind the time. it took me total of 4 ish hours Note that you need to return back on your own. I took the ferry back to the European side.

    great fun and such an interesting way to spend an afternoon. was also an excuse to explore the Asia side when I had only seen the European side so far. really grateful for the pick up and escort to other side, as wasn't familiar with public transport at all.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The Turkish Mosaic lamp activity was so much fun. The group of us that went really enjoyed making our own “designer” lamps. We were very grateful that they were still able to accommodate us even though we were running late. Bintang is a great instructor. He was very knowledgeable, witty and fun to listen to. Now we will have a piece of memory from our travels.

    Bien dans l'ensemble mais trop peu de temps. Le thé servi pendant l'activité et non pas tranquillement pendant que la lampe sèche. les gâteaux réduit et pas bons. ça reste sympa néanmoins.

    Traditional Stained Glass Painting Workshop review

    Eşimle beraber yine çok memnun kaldığımız bir workshop'u tamamladık. İstanbul'a turistik amaçlı geliyorsanız ya da bizim gibi kendi şehrimizde turist olmayı seviyorsanız önereceğimiz bir etkinlik. Bu tür işleri evde yapmak istesek bir sürü malzemeye ihtiyacımız olacak, burada kendi evimizde yapıyormuş rahatlığında güzel bir 3 saat geçirdik. Eğitmenlerin cana yakın ve yardımcı tavırları, workshop esnasında eğitmenle ve diğer katılımcılarla edilen sohbetler deneyimi daha üst seviyeye çıkarıyor. Tek bile olsanız, çekinmeyin çıkın gelin :) Çay, kahve, kurabiye ikramları lezzetli ve güzeldi. Ortaya çıkan ürünümüzü de çerçeveyle birlikte evimize getirdik. Bir daha olsa bir daha gelir miyiz evet :) Instagram ve YouTube : Maksat Yolculuk 😇😇

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    The lamp making was very fun and it was easier than I expected. We ended up making really pretty lamps and were able to do so with the guidance of a really nice guide who taught us the basics. Loved the chill surroundings and nice music playing in the back. We also got Turkish tea drink and some cookies to munch on. Overall if you’re in Istanbul I recommend coming and trying out this workshop.
