    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Если вы живете в европейской части, здорово отправиться на кораблике в азию, сварить себе кофе, погадать на гуще и послушать историю культуры кофепития. Азиз большой молодец, что организовал такие мастер классы. Было очень мило с его стороны проводить нас после встречи до кораблика:)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    this was a great activity to do on a rainy winter day. I had problems with getting to the venue, but Ali helped me with directions, even though it was my fault for not reading the meeting point details correctly. Aleyna was very clear as to how to create the lamps and sharing its history. it's a relaxing activity and a great way to meet new people. The finished product is something that'll remind you of your Istanbul trip too. Aleyna also went above and beyond by helping me get back to my accommodations by going to the station and helping me with directions. would highly recommend this!

    It was awesome! I made a good solo traveler friend & Bunyamin gave us great historical context + a safe place to chit chat and learn. You walk away with a great story and skill. Highly recommend.

    It was alot of fun to make the lamp and the Instruktions and help make it super easy! Making the mosaik pattern was a very relaxing experiance-a great activity when you want to escape the hectic of the city for a couple of hours and, on top of that, bring back home a personalized souvenir😊❤️

    Выражаю признательность организатором от лица всей группы. Мастер-класс по созданию турецких мозаичных светильников прошел великолепно. Все участники довольны. Обязательно вернусь к вам с новыми группами. Вы подарила нам прекрасное время и все мои туристы получили огромное удовольствие. Атмосфера фабрики прекрасна, просто не хотелось уходить. А сами светильники будут еще долго напоминать девочкам о Стамбуле и о вас. Благодарю.

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    An excellent way to spend your time in İstanbul and experience warm hospitality and learn about these iconic lamps. Aleyne was a great host and told me all about the art history of these lamps. I made a little desk lamp to take home, which feels a lot better than buying one from a market. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for something a bit different and enjoy arts and crafts! Not to mention some furry cafe cats to keep you company too.

    Супер мастер класс! Классный наставник! Встретил на удобной станции, был постоянно на связи по всем вопросам. Сам мастер класс очень необычный, получилась красивая лампа 😍 Азиз угостил нас чаем и кофе с домашними вкусняшками! Круто провели время, спасибо большое!

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Очень понравилось! Проводил мастер класс Азиз. Он немного стесняется, но у него очень интересно получается рассказывать историю кофе. Процесс приготовления кофе так же очень интересный. Рассмотрели два вида приготовления. Я выбрала один из двух и приготовила сама)) После погадали на кофейной гуще)) По завершении Азиз подарил приятный подарок)

    Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

    Мастер-класс начнётся с исторического ликбеза. Азиз весьма харизматичный рассказчик, факты интересные и во-многом раскрывающие смысл дальнейших действий. Часть с гаданием на кофейной гуще - скорее забавное дополнение. В целом мило, уютно и очень атмосферно.)

    Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

    Fun workshop! I love the idea of learning about an item of cultural significance and then making the item to take home. I thought about buying a lamp but it’s much better that I got the chance to make it. Note : it was a seamless experience getting to the cafe from the European side since they picked me up but I had a little trouble finding my way back without their guidance
