Art & Design in Turkey
Dates: September, 2026
Turkey is a land where design is lived — in the texture of a handwoven carpet, the curve of an Ottoman arch, the layering of color, craft, and centuries of history. This journey invites you to explore Istanbul and Cappadocia through the lens of art and interior design, uncovering the beauty that hides in markets, studios, ateliers, and even in the morning light that floods a carved stone room. It’s not just a cultural trip — it’s a curated immersion into spaces that tell stories.
Your host, Milagros Gálvez, is an interior designer with a deep sensitivity to material, composition, and the invisible atmosphere that shapes every place. Traveling with her means pausing to notice textures, asking different questions, and meeting local artisans not as tourists, but as fellow creators. With her guidance, you’ll enter homes, galleries, and workshops that are usually closed to the public — spaces where tradition and innovation coexist.
From the vibrant design scene of Istanbul to the sculpted landscapes and cave dwellings of Cappadocia, this trip is for those who draw inspiration from the world around them. Whether you’re a designer, collector, or simply someone who loves beauty in all its forms, you’ll return not only with objects, but with a new way of seeing.
