    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    We had a lovely time at Fabrikafa! Beyzanur explained in a very clear way what we had to do. She set the mood, with music, drinks and cookies, prepared everything and let us create our lamp, always with her supervision and help. Perhaps would be better if we had more time, to learn about the history behind these type of lamps, and also time to talk more with the other participants, but overall it was a great experience and I love my lamp! Definitely recommend.

    Mustafa explained us everything about coffee, from its history to how to make it and how to serve it. The last part, trying to read our future, was really fun. Great experience, really good people, highly recommended.

    This was honestly THE best airbnb experience that we have ever had. Our parfume instructor Ali is nothing less than amazing, we had fun with the whole group and the end results were like something you would get in the high-end niche perfume shops. A+ experience, fully recommend

    Very well managed. Beautiful location and set up. Patient instructor. Friendly staff all around. Loved the concept and was a lot of fun for the whole family. A shout out to Esme who not only took us to the workshop from our meeting point but was also kind enough to let us tag along on the way back. If you have time , done with all the tours, shopping and over stimulus of all your senses that soul of Istanbul has to offer - this workshop is a nice way to relax and have a slow but gratifying few hours

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Der Workshop ist wirklich zum empfehlen. Mit Hunor und einem großen Fachwissen war die kleine Gruppe schnell beim Kaffeemühle mahlen und eigenem zubereiten des Kaffees. Der Genuss der schwarzen Bohne war dann der Höhepunkt, gefolgt von einer Kaffeesudleserei. Insgesamt kurzweilig und sehr empfehlenswert um zuhause ein bisschen über Kaffee Klugscheißer zu können.
