Istanbul සංස්කෘතික අත්දැකීම්

wonderful experience! we really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

it was soooo much fun! Ilham was such a fun and informative instructor. He was very interactive with us and engaged with us. i would recommend taking this class when you’re in istanbul. its in a very artsy and colorful area, so much inspiration around. and you get to take home something turkish that you made by hand 🫶🏻

එහි සිටි කාර්ය මණ්ඩලය ඉතා හොඳ සහ මිත්‍රශීලී විය. ඔබ යුරෝපීය පැත්තෙන් පැමිණෙන්නේ නම්, ඔවුන් අපව මෙට්‍රෝ දුම්රිය ස්ථානයෙන් පවා රැගෙන ගිය අතර, ප්‍රවාහන ගාස්තුව ඔවුන් විසින් දරන ලදී. අපගේ උපදේශක මෙහ්මෙට්, සියල්ල ඉතා පැහැදිලිව පැහැදිලි කළේය. වැඩමුළුව අතරතුර, අපට අසීමිත ජලය, තුර්කි තේ සහ කුකීස් ලැබුණි. මා මගේ රටට ආපසු පැමිණීමෙන් පසුව පවා, මගේ ලාම්පුව සම්බන්ධයෙන් ගැටලුවක් ඇති වූ අතර, මම උපදෙස් සඳහා ඔවුන් සම්බන්ධ කර ගත්තෙමි. එය නිවැරදි කිරීමට කාර්ය මණ්ඩලය ඉතා උපකාරී විය. එය නිසි ලෙස සවි කර ඇති බව තහවුරු කර ගැනීමට ඔවුන් වීඩියෝවක් පවා ලබා දුන්නේය. ඔවුන් දරන උත්සාහය ඔබට සැබවින්ම දැකගත හැකිය. සමස්තයක් වශයෙන්, මට එහි ඉතා හොඳ අත්දැකීමක් ලැබුණි. ඉතා නිර්දේශිතයි!

We arrived a bit earlier than scheduled and were served Turkish tea while waiting, which was such a nice touch. To our surprise, it ended up being just the 2 of us in the workshop! It felt like a private, relaxed session. shout out to Rustam for patiently answering all our questions (we had many lol), while Hussein also joined us. Although it was meant to be 2 hours, we stayed almost 2.5 hours because we were having so much fun. We learned about Turkish coffee history, ground the beans ourselves, tried pistachio coffee (so good I bought some to bring home!), and even enjoyed the fortune-telling session. We also received a small souvenir, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a warm and memorable experience in Istanbul! PS: Rustam, don’t overwork yourself! ⭐️

Kübra was a really lovely facilitator and conducted the workshop so well! She was very thorough in the storytelling and make the workshop very interactive. We enjoyed it a lot and had a great time.

If you're Korean and feel like you've seen all the tourist spots in Turkey, you absolutely must try this. Honestly, I was hesitant at first because it was less than 30,000 won after a discount, and there weren't many reviews. But it turned out to be incredibly good value for money and very satisfying. When I went, one instructor taught a class of about 15 people in both English and Turkish. They gave detailed advice, like which scents wouldn't go well together, if a scent was too strong, or the best mixing ratios, which helped me create my own satisfying perfume. There was a good variety of perfume essences available, like saffron and milk, and the price also included refreshments such as coffee, tea, and snacks. Even during the class, if you just tell the staff what you'd like to drink, they'll prepare it right away. At the end, they even carefully packaged it with bubble wrap, so I didn't have to worry about putting it in my luggage. It's so affordable that you might wonder if there are any hidden extra charges, but there aren't; they even cover the subway fare from the pickup location to the workshop. Thanks to this, I'm taking home a very special memory :)

ඔබට ඉතා සුබ දහවල් කාලයක් වේවා. මේ සඳහා ඉවසීම සහ කැපවීම අවශ්‍ය වන අතර, අවසානයේදී ඔබට අපූරු අතින් සාදන ලද කලා කෘතියක් සහ ප්‍රීතිමත් මතකයන් ලැබෙනු ඇත.

The best way to remember Istanbul ❤️🫶 I don't usually leave reviews, but I came here specifically to leave one. The instructor was incredibly kind and taught us so well. They patiently waited until we finished and helped us throughout, so I'm taking home a beautiful souvenir! They also kept offering tea and snacks, and chatting with them made me feel like I was at my Turkish grandmother's house 🥹. The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the tram, and the studio is so lovely with plenty of sunlight! I wish the owner great success~ ♡
