What an amazing place! It's really amazing. A beautiful place during the day and magical at night with all those colorful lamps. It's an old madrassa where you can now taste a delicious Turkish tea and smoke a shisha. A must see in Istanbul. I especially recommend the apple tea.

Oldest shisha place from 1716. It was a madrasah from the Ottoman Period. Best place to have a best nargile.

Not a must do in Istanbul but good to see and feel the place if you are passing by. I enjoyed the place.…
