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.

We had such a great time designing our own mosaic lamps, eating cookies and drinking cay! I can only recommend this activity to dive into the Turkish culture and be creative - a nice contrast to hectic Istanbul life:)

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Attività fantastica. Il posto è piccolino e i gruppi di persone sono grandi ma si riesce a lavorare in armonia. Ho fatto il laboratorio con mia mamma per il suo compleanno ed è stata felicissima. Adesso abbiamo una lampada unica fatta a mano come ricordo.

Perfume Making Workshop review

This activity advertises the meeting point on the European side but the classes are on the Asian side. The guide meets you on the European side, pays for your metro ticket but you have to find your own way back after the class. Ali is very knowledgeable and held a very entertaining class,. So happy with my signature scent and will do this class again if ever I am back in Istanbul

Turkish Mosaic Lamp Workshop review

Η εμπειρία δημιουργίας ψηφιδωτού λαμπτήρα ήταν μοναδική και αξέχαστη! Ο χώρος ήταν υπέροχος, γεμάτος έμπνευση και θετική ενέργεια, ενώ η δραστηριότητα ήταν πολύ οικονομική, κάτι που την έκανε ακόμα πιο απολαυστική. Οι κοπέλες ήταν εξαιρετικά φιλικές και εξυπηρετικές, και ιδιαίτερα η Beyza, που μας καθοδήγησε με πολλή υπομονή και ενθουσιασμό. Μας έδωσε την ελευθερία να εκφραστούμε δημιουργικά και να φτιάξουμε έναν λαμπτήρα που αντανακλά το προσωπικό μας στυλ. Ήταν μια από αυτές τις εμπειρίες που όχι μόνο απολαμβάνεις, αλλά σου αφήνουν και κάτι ιδιαίτερο να θυμάσαι. Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!

Perfume Making Workshop review

I had a fantastic experience on the perfume-making tour in Istanbul! Creating my own signature scent, which I named Gisem, was such a unique and enjoyable process. The only hiccup was the pick-up at 9:30 AM, even though the tour starts at 10 – this wasn’t mentioned anywhere. Other than that, everything was smooth and well-organized. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a special, hands-on experience!

Super! Hat viel Spaß gemacht und ist eine schöne Erinnerung. Der Workshop findet auf der asiatischen Seite statt; es gibt aber die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem Guide 30 Minuten vorher auf der europäischen Seite zu treffen (siehe Treffpunkt), um gemeinsam zum Workshop zu gelangen. Alles sehr unkompliziert und empfehlenswert:)
