Little Hagia Sophia

You’ve explored Istanbul, tasted its flavors, and now you're returning home not just with souvenirs — but with a story.

Perfect for families, couples, and curious travelers — you’ll leave with sweet memories, a handmade box of your own delights, and a skill you can share forever.

Step into the cozy interior of Little Hagia Sophia and learn how to make Turkish Delight (lokum) from scratch using traditional ingredients and techniques.
