Experience Turkish Delight in the most authentic way: learn its 250-year-old story, taste three unique varieties, and watch each step of the traditional lokum-making process in a hands-on cultural workshop. Guided by a local expert and completed with a special gift from Istanbul’s oldest confectioner, Hacı Bekir (est. 1777).
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Once you arrive at the location, you will see a place called "KÖZDE KAHVE." Please enter the small street next to it. Walk a bit further and you will find the building entrance. Go upstairs, and at the end of the corridor, you will see Room 109. If you need any help contact us via Whatsapp!
What to expect
During the workshop you will see how the syrup is prepared, how starch is added, and how traditional lokum is shaped and coated. This is a hands-on learning experience, but the lokum made during the session is not consumed or taken home due to the required resting period.
At the end of the experience, you will receive a special gift: a 200-gram box of classic Turkish Delight from Hacı Bekir, Istanbul’s oldest and most famous lokum maker (est. 1777).
A perfect cultural activity for beginners, food lovers, and anyone curious about Istanbul’s sweet traditions.
