While you're in the region
Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $62 a day this sits well below the $193 median for art, design & media. It is cheaper than 9 of the 12 art, design & media options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Turkey
- 2 other options in Turkey, starting with baklava and anatolian cooking in Gaziantep from $400.
- When to go
- Workable across 6 months of the year — Apr-Jun, Sep-Nov. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 10 days, but the honest range is 2 to 90. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
