Description

Step into the tranquil courtyard of Little Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and immerse yourself in the ancient art of aromatherapy. This hands-on workshop invites you to discover the secrets of plant distillation, transforming aromatic herbs like lavender or bay leaves into pure hydrosol using traditional copper stills.

Guided by a knowledgeable host, you will learn about the fascinating history and modern uses of plant distillation. Take part in every stage of the process, from preparing the raw herbs to bottling your own natural essence, all while enjoying the sensory experience of touch, smell, and sight.

During this two-hour session, savor freshly brewed Turkish coffee and handmade cookies as you engage in lively conversation in one of the city's most historic settings. You will also taste seasonal herbal tea made with hydrosol and receive a mini handmade soap crafted from distilled flower water.

At the end of your workshop, take home a bottle of your freshly made hydrosol and a sample of essential oil as unique souvenirs of your time in Istanbul. The experience is suitable for all, with no prior knowledge required, and welcomes families, solo travelers, and groups alike.

Spaces are limited for this memorable aromatherapy workshop in Istanbul. Reserve your spot now to ensure you don’t miss out on this authentic cultural experience.
