ISTANBUL — Coffee addicts will gather at Karaköy’s Galata Greek Primary School for the Istanbul Coffee Festival to be held from Dec. 25 to Dec. 28.
Set in a historical venue, the must-see event will bring the flavor of the third wave of coffee culture, while introducing the best of Istanbul’s prestigious coffee shops, special coffee and food brands and coffee machine producers.
Visitors will treat themselves while sipping high-quality coffees. Professional baristas will be ready to show off their coffee-making skills, while visitors can enjoy different tastes of coffee and other treats.
The festival program also features interactive workshops, seminars, concerts and exhibitions. Similar to its previous editions, Istanbul will be the meeting point of the art of coffee making once again.
