We would like to invite you to explore Istanbul Modern, Türkiye’s first museum of modern and contemporary art.

Afterwards we'll enjoy our Turkish coffee at Galataport Store and Coffee Museum of Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi, the most famous traditional Turkish coffee brand.
We'll finish with a walk along the Bosphorus in Galataport, the cruise port of Istanbul - also home to many cafes, restaurants and shops.
To join this fantastic program combined with modern art and Turkish culture, please fill in the form. Further details will be sent by WhatsApp.
