Turkish Delight Workshop / How to make Turkish Delight ?

You’ve explored Istanbul, tasted its flavors, and now you're returning home not just with souvenirs — but with a story. In this workshop, held in the enchanting surroundings of Little Hagia Sophia, you’ll learn how to make authentic Turkish Delight, a centuries-old treat that you can now create with your own signature twist. Perfect for families, couples, and curious travelers — you’ll leave with refined memories and a tradition to carry forward. At Istanbul’s Oldest Monastery, located within a history-filled garden, you learn how to make Turkish delight. Instead of Turkish delight purchased from a store and presented as handmade, you take home the Turkish delight you have learned to make with your own hands, presented in a traditional ceramic (iznik tiles ) container. Accompanied by a local storyteller, you experience the stories that accompany this tradition. You can also meet other artists at The Little Hagia Sophia Cultural Center.
