      Amazing afternoon

      Ivelina_C, Apr 2026
      Wow what an amazing afternoon with Can & Ege making Turkish mosaic lamps in the workshop. Excellent help in very well spoken engish & so friendly. We enjoyed it so much we are going back for the perfume workshop later this week 🙂

      Amazing experience

      Exceptional

      Sherwan_H, Feb 2026
      I had an absolutely wonderful experience making a mosaic lamp, and I can’t recommend it enough! From start to finish, the entire workshop was relaxing, creative, and so much fun. Watching all the tiny pieces of glass come together into a beautiful design was incredibly satisfying. Our instructor, Eren, was truly amazing. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole process feel easy — even for beginners. He took the time to guide everyone individually, offered helpful tips, and created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy makes the experience even more special. Not only did I leave with a stunning handmade lamp that I’m so proud of, but I also left with great memories. If you’re considering this workshop — do it! It’s the perfect mix of art, culture, and hands-on creativity. I would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful experience.

      Unprofessional class

      Seyoung_K, Feb 2026
      We decided to take this lamp making class because our hot air balloon was canceled due to bad weather. We arrived 15 minutes early but there was no one to greet us at the hotel lobby so we had to find the workshop location ourselves. To our surprise the class was held in a restaurant and bar area where customers kept coming in to dine. It didn't feel like a private or organized workshop space at all as I saw in the pictures. Our class was somewhat chaotic because our class tutor, Zehra was running a turkish coffee class next to us at the same time. We had to wait for the next step because the instructor was too busy. She was not attentive. Our class was somewhat chaotic because our instructor Zehra was running a Turkish coffee class right next to us at the same time. We constantly had to wait for the next step because she was far too busy multitasking with others. She was not attentive at all and it felt like she was just trying to get through the session as quickly as possible. ​They only displayed large lamps at first but then told us that making a large lamp costs an extra 800 TRY and they only accept cash. We just sticked to the small one because we had to travel another cities as well. During the class, Zehra said we can take our time but she wanted to connect everyone's lamps to the power at once so we felt rushed. She was also eager to clear the table for the next group which made me hurry even more because I didn't want to take up other people's time. On top of that no tea Turkish delight or water was provided at all. The packaging was just a paper bag with a bit of bubble wrap. It was a very distracting and disappointing environment for a creative workshop.

      Nice experience! Relaxing and fun. There were many pattern options and examples. Easy something to do in cappadocia.

      Fun and Relaxing Activity

      aleasevaughan, Dec 2025
      I had a wonderful experience here. The class was very hands-on and creative as we were able to choose our own designs, sketch them out on paper, and then bring them to life on the lamp by gluing the pieces and filling them in with colorful beads. It was really enjoyable to see the lamp come together step by step. The instructor was extremely friendly, patient, and helpful throughout the entire class. She took her time with everyone and made sure we felt comfortable, which made the experience even better. The class never felt rushed, which I really appreciated. We were able to relax, chat with other tourists, and truly enjoy the process. Overall, it was a fun, calming, and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone visiting Cappadocia and looking for a creative and enjoyable activity.

      Dts_S, Oct 2025
      Once I arrived, I was welcomes, seated and explained how it works. After that we were completely free to make our own design. Unfortunately, the instructor also gave another coffee making workshop and wasn't focused on us. Which was not always necessary, but would have been appreciated.

      Kelsey_K, Aug 2025
      Ahmet was wonderful! Great experience to learn technique but also get creative. So many colors and opportunities to upgrade

      Great fun and a great souvenir

      Dhelia_W, Jul 2025
      What a great experience! Instruction was easy, deciding on a pattern and colors was difficult (they were all so beautiful!). The finished product was amazing. If my husband and I can do it, anyone can! What a great souvenir from Turkey.

      Went with my wife and we both love the experience. Our instructor Zahkra was very helpful. The final products look really good.

      Great experience making a keepsake of our time in Turkey

      harpreetthandi, May 2025
      We picked this experience as we enjoy doing crafty things as a family and it was my daughter’s birthday so we wanted to do something we knew she would enjoy. The store was very clean and organised, ready for us to begin the mosaic lantern making. Our master was Ahmet, who was very friendly and helpful and gave us lots of interesting facts along the way, he offered us different types of teas and water, as well as Turkish delight, during the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed designing and making our lamps and can’t wait to see them in our house. I would definitely recommend this experience if you have some time when in Goreme.

      Amazing - we are returning tomorrow

      Ellie_M, Apr 2025
      Amazing workshop. Really worth the money. Amet was our guide and he was just brilliant. Friendly, provided beautiful Turkish apple tea and Turkish delight. Had a lot of patience and was just a lovely man. Me and my partner are return tomorrow to do his other work shops as he does lots!

      Karina_W, Apr 2025
      We loved how our lamp turned out! There were many colors and shapes available, and the whole process was very fun and creative to learn and experience :) 2 hours felt a bit short to make the lamp though - we kind of wish we had more time to explore different patterns, especially with the beads. Our instructor was very nice and taught us well. However, we felt we didn’t get enough attention since she was running another class at the same time, so we had to wait a bit between each step.

      the lady was so knowledgable and easy going, everyone (but me) made amazing lamps. Mine was a bit clunky, but the whole experience was great. So relaxing.

      Must Try!

      Fun and Cute way of exploring the Turkish culture! Our instructor was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful throughout the entire experience. We loved it so much

      Great workshop!

      We had a wonderful experience. Our instructor was very kind and a very good hype man. We loved making the lamps and decided we will probably be making more when we get home! Highly reccomend!

      Lamps in Capadoccia

      Sandra_I, Mar 2025
      This is a wonderful and thought out experience. The owner is lovely and very helpful providing refreshments while you work. He provides clear instruction and guidance when needed. The lamp is a lovely and small way to take home a piece of Turkey with you. Don’t forget luggage space when booking this tour.
