Istanbul has a history spanning 8,000 years, the last 3,000 of which is written history. Captain Bugra, a local storyteller, recounts the history, legends, and mystical atmosphere of Istanbul's oldest temple in the gardens of Bukoleon, an ancient palace on the seashore. During the event, you'll learn how to make Turkish coffee for free. If you're interested in the historical Silk Road, you can also learn how to make and taste a blend of Turkish tea from natural herbs...
We can guarantee you've never had an experience like this before. You will reach the pinnacle of spirituality. The building, which served as a madrasa (religious school) during the Ottoman era, functions as a school. Legends and stories from the Ottoman period come alive again in this place... We assert again, you will never forget it.
