Description
Discover the story of Turkish Delight in Istanbul. Learn its history, taste three varieties, join the traditional making process, and receive a 200g Hacı Bekir lokum gift.
Step into the sweet history of Istanbul with an authentic Turkish Delight workshop that combines culture, tasting, and tradition.
1. Begin your experience with a guided introduction to the 250-year-old story of Turkish Delight, from the Ottoman Palace to modern Istanbul. Learn why lokum became one of Turkey’s most iconic sweets and how it gained worldwide fame as “Turkish Delight.”
2. Next, enjoy a curated tasting of three different varieties: classic, rose-flavored, and creamy lokum. Each flavor is explained in detail to help you understand its ingredients, texture, and cultural background.
3. During the workshop, you will watch and participate in the traditional lokum-making process, including syrup preparation and starch blending. This is a hands-on learning experience; however, the lokum made during the session is not consumed or taken home due to the required resting period.
4. You will also join a cutting and coating demonstration using professionally prepared lokum, showing the final stage of traditional production.
5. The experience ends with a special gift: a 200-gram box of classic Turkish Delight.
This cultural experience is perfect for food lovers, history enthusiasts, and travelers looking for an authentic activity in Istanbul.
