Experiences
Four experiences in Istanbul, all bookable online. Three masterclasses in the masters' own workshops, and shore fishing from the Kadıköy quay.
Bosphorus Shore Fishing
On the quay beside a historic mosque, under the Bosphorus Bridge — rod, bait, coaching and Turkish tea included. No experience needed; the catch is yours to keep.
3 hours · up to 6 guests · ₺3,000 per guest + 20% VAT
