What to do and see in New City / Taksim, Turkey: The Best Classes & Workshops
The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

While I was living in Istanbul, I attended classes at Seramica for more than two years, every week. It is not only a place that can teach you how to throw or make a unique piece that you choose, but it is also a place where you can relax and be disconnected/connected to the world depending on what you want! It was magical every single time, and I admired how the teacher just listened to you on what you want to create, and work with you towards achieving your best. He remembered every student's unique art, and worked towards bringing that to life. I am forever grateful to Seramica for giving me the peace of mind in a busy life and city. I am trying to find a similar place in States, but no luck so far! If you have the chance, please visit and learn more about how you can attend their classes.
