Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Eşimin doğum gününde ona sürpriz yapma amacıyla götürdüm gayet keyifli bir etkinlikti. 3 saat biraz uzun gelmişti ama nasıl başlayıp bittiğini anlamadık çok eğlendik güzel bir anı oldu. Ağırlıklı yabancı olduğu için etkinliğin ana dili ingilizce ancak bilmeyenlere Türkçe yardımcı oluyolar açıklıyolar. Biz de o bilmeyenlerdendik :D

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Die Gruppe war bunt gemischt, und es hat großen Spaß gemacht, neue Leute kennenzulernen. Der Raum war authentisch gestaltet und hat die Kreativität angeregt. Der Guide war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie hat uns einen interessanten Einblick in die Historie gegeben und uns gleichzeitig praktisch sehr gut angeleitet. Es gab eine große Auswahl an Mosaiksteinen sowie Vorlagen mit verschiedenen Mustern für jeden Geschmack. Selbst für Anfänger war der Workshop dadurch sehr gut geeignet und ein rundum schönes Erlebnis. Das Beste ist, dass man das fertige Ergebnis – die Lampen – direkt vor Ort sehen und anschließend schön verpackt mitnehmen kann.

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

We really enjoyed the workshop, and it is fantastic that you can take your lamp home. The program is suitable for families, our 7 year old son enjoyed it big time. Great hosts, great location. The Old Ottoman restaurant is 3 minutes walk from the location of the workshop, go there for food.

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

I was lucky enough to have this course all by myself, so I got to have conversations about loads of different topics with the coffee master. Being a bit of a coffee enthusiast myself it was a very good presentation on the history of coffee and the role of the Ottomans in it. It was also great to be able to make the coffee with different beans to separate what one can expect from a normal Istanbul street vendor and what you can expect at a specialty shop.

The entire staff was incredibly attentive and genuinely involved, making our experience one of the most memorable in Istanbul. Thanks to them, we left with a completely new and very positive impression of Turkish hospitality. We are truly grateful for the beautiful memories and the wonderful experience they created for us. The location is also excellent—just a 5–6 minute walk from Hagia Sophia. Thank you once again!
