Hodjapasha Cultural Center

Converted from a historic Turkish bath, this cultural center is a great place to catch a show of whirling dervishes or even the folk dances of Anatolia, Balkan and Caucasian regions, combined with the staple belly dances. The circular glass performance stage here is encircled by the seating area which can accommodate a maximum of 220 people. A good show to catch is ‘White Rose’ – a musical that narrates the love story of an Ottoman slave woman and a Dutch ambassador set in the 18th century. Book seats in advance online, especially if you plan to go over the weekend.
