Turkish delight workshop

You've delved into the heart of Istanbul, savoured its diverse flavours, and now you're heading back not merely with keepsakes, but with a tale to tell. In this workshop, nestled in the magical setting of Little Hagia Sophia, you'll master the art of crafting authentic Turkish Delight. This age-old sweet treat is now something you can whip up with your own personal flair. Ideal for families, couples, and inquisitive travellers alike — you'll depart with polished memories and a tradition to pass on.

At Istanbul’s most ancient monastery, tucked away in a garden brimming with history, you'll learn the secrets of making Turkish delight. Rather than store-bought sweets masquerading as handmade, you'll be taking home Turkish delight that you've crafted yourself, presented in a traditional ceramic container adorned with Iznik tile designs.

Guided by a local raconteur, you'll delve into the narratives intertwined with this tradition. You'll also have the opportunity to mingle with other artisans at The Little Hagia Sophia Cultural Centre.
