HODJAPASHA

While in Istanbul, you absolutely must attend a ceremony, a real one, of whirling dervishes. Traditional Ottoman and Anatolian dance performances are also offered. The performances take place in a 550-year-old hammam. Flashes are prohibited and of course, silence is required. Drinks and loukoums are free. If you are interested in attending one of these ceremonies, this is the place to go and nowhere else. The best address in the city in the purest tradition.
