This experience was so fun! Petek was an amazing coffee guide and easy to talk to. She understood all of our questions and answered them well. The whole coffee making experience was so fun and it was, of course, delicious!
Tricky to get to the building but the businesses around helped us. Stairs are hidden. A good background about Turkish coffee. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. We were given a porcelain cup and saucer and we didn’t expect that.
I had such an amazing time with Petek. She was so knowledgeable and so fun. I highly recommend this to everyone who has a bit of time to learn and just have a little fun with fortune telling. Don't need to believe in it but you must just leave with a fun new look on life.
Amazing workshop led by Petek! You do not only learn how to make traditional turkish coffee, but also learn a lot about the history and traditions around it. At the end you even get your own cup to take home. Great experience and lovely workshop!
Good opportunity to get to know the history of the Turkish coffee and how to actually make it. It was a really interesting activity!
Thank you Petek for instructing the Turkish coffee making process in such a warm, patient, informative, and engaging manner ☺️ We began with the history of coffee bean, Ottoman Empire, and different ways of making Turkish coffee. Strongly connected the making process with the cultural root of Turkish people. Definitely recommend this tour to couples and families!!
Very fun experience, Petek was great! Takes a little under 2h and we were given lovely gifts at the end. Would 100% recommend. Now that we know the proper technique we can’t wait to try it back at home!
It was a great morning activity! The class was small, intimate, and interactive and enjoyable. Would definitely do it again.
A cultural experience, animates, motivated, accessible, picturesque, lively, motivating, historic... I love it!
Making Turkish coffee was a wonderful experience. The process itself felt special and traditional. Special thanks to Petek who presented the Turkish coffee experience to us. Lovely very warm girl. Her natural way of connecting with people made the atmosphere very comfortable and enjoyable. The coffee was prepared slowly in a small copper pot, allowing the rich aroma to fill the air. Watching the foam rise on the top showed the care and skill that goes into making an authentic Turkish coffee. When it was served, the presentation was beautiful, usually with a small glass of water and sometimes a piece of Turkish delight. The coffee had a strong, deep flavor and a smooth foam on top, which made it truly enjoyable. It was not just about drinking coffee, but about the whole moment — relaxing, talking, and appreciating a traditional part of Turkish culture. It was a memorable and authentic experience.
