Turkish lamp making - Burak was excellent guiding us through the process of creating our own creative Turkish Lamps. We got to choose our own designs and get to decorate our lamps according to our own taste in a creative peaceful environment. Our lamps turned out beautiful and were packed for us to take on the flight home.

Fine for the price, but the description is not accurate - While we enjoyed making our lamps, the description of the experience is not accurate. There was no tea and no Turkish delight (which my kids were really bummed about). Definitely not 50+ colors. A few guys helped a bit, but we really didn't learn anything about the process or history. We sat with several other patrons and glued beads on a glass lamp. We were done in 1.5 hours. But I guess for the price it was fine and we have the lamps as souvuneers to take home.
