Discover the story behind Turkish Delight and learn how this iconic sweet has been made for centuries. Enjoy a guided cultural session where you watch each step of the lokum-making process, taste three different varieties, and explore its history from the Ottoman Palace to modern Istanbul. 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.
Everyone meets at the start point.

Jahan was brilliant! She was very clear with instructions and gave us a history of Turkish delight! She made great coffee and showed us how to eat and drink the Turkish way!!! We even got a free coffee drains fortune reading 🤣
Beyza was a wonderful teacher. We loved the whole experience and would do it again. Such fun had learning the history of Turkish Delight and getting to make some.
Wonderful class that not only teaches you how to make Lokum or Turkish Delight. Its an immersion of history, culture and culinary art. Beyza was my teacher and she is phenomenal at what she does. She is highly knowledgeable & professional. She is extremely kind and patient. It was a pleasure learning from her. This is definitely a must try experience while you are in Istanbul.
The class was amazing, we enjoyed everything, we cocked best turksih delight i ever eat. The class was organized, professional . The instructor Ms lina was very keen to make us learn, we got also turkish turkish deligh and coffee cups as gift 😍
Really good experience with Lina :) She was very kind and helpful !
An absolutely wonderful experience, the most authentic I've had in Turkey. I am a american woman traveling with my mother and daughter, and while other tours guides can be hard to understand or condescending, our time with our tour guide Lina was wonderful. Lina had phenomenal English and was easy to understand, and understood what my family was saying immediately, even if we started talking fast or using american slang. We learned about the history of Turkish delight and how to make it on our tour, but I feel confident any other tour with this company would be just as wonderful as ours due to the staff. We got to have our first honest conversation with a woman in Turkey and hear what daily life in Istanbul is really like. For a affordable, delightful, and authentic experience, I would sign up.
Amazing experience, absolutely worth the money, you learn to make Turkish delights while drinking Turkish tea or coffee and enjoying the different kinds of Turkish sweets. Absolutely a must in Istanbul.
My husband and I loved this class! We always like to do cooking classes when we travel and we are very excited to make Turkish delights at home. It’s also nice because it was with a small group, it was hands on, and it lasted about an hour.
