Old Medrese

A great place to take a calm break

We had the pleasure of learning more about Caferaga Medresesi while recently in Istanbul. The staff was extremely friendly. A special demonstration was organized for us to see how one of the artists creates his marbling technique. Learning about all the various classes offered here made us commit to taking a class the next time we are in Istanbul. Swing by this lovely art oasis for a lovely experience when you are visiting Istanbul!

An old Ottoman school converted into handicraft center and a nice cafe. Good place to have a break for a reason, coffee or lemonade.

An awesome hidden gem near many of Istanbul's most popular attractions. This is a arts school sponsored by the Turkish government, along with a small cafe/restaurant. Students make pottery, ceramics, calligraphy, and jewelry using traditional methods, and sell their pieces here! A great way to support local artists and see how they work. Definitely worth a visit while in Sultanahmet.
