Authentic carpet shop grabs tourists in central Turkey
A 450-year-old lodge converted into a carpet shop in Turkey’s central Cappadocia region attracts tourists with its unusual decoration.
Covered with hand-knotted carpets featuring Anatolian motifs on its walls and ceiling, the lodge has long been serving as a carpet shop, according to the owner, Serkan Ikman.
Ikman said that social media savvies flock to the lodge, as it is a great spot for photo shooting.
He added that the carpet shop especially attracts tourists from far eastern countries, including China.
“It is a 450-year-old lodge, where people traveling used to stay. It is one of the oldest buildings in the Goreme region and has been used as a carpet shop for a long time,” he said.
James Zhan, a tourist from China, said that he and his friends were amazed by Cappadocia’s natural beauty.
Cappadocia, which lies in Central Anatolia's Nevsehir province, is a tourist favorite with its famous underground cities and houses carved into rocks, alongside its fairy chimney volcanic cones.
Zhan said that he decided to visit the carpet shop after seeing its photos on social media. “It is a very beautiful place,” he said.

We did the Red Tour in Cappadocia, Turkey!
Whilst the Cappadocia region of Turkey is well known for its incredible Hot Air Balloon flights, the region has so much else to offer! We ended up doing two different tour days with Flintstones Travel and absolutely loved both days. There is so much to see here, it really is spectacular to see. Flintstones Travel were a great option. They were well organised, the van was comfortable and had AC, our Tour Guide Verdat was GREAT and the food was fantastic. Best of all, the tours were great value, between US$30-$40 per day Our lunch on this day included an All You Can Eat buffet (sorry, not shown in video) which we enjoyed.
Day 1 Red Tour (North Tour) * Goreme Open Air Museum (best open air museum in Turkey) * Uchisar - Castle Panorama) * Pasabag - Fairy Chimneys Valley - Monk Valley * Devrent Valley - Imagination Valley * Love Valley * Pottery Art Gallery - Tea and Pottery making class * Avanos Red River (Rocking Bridge & Cafe) * Buffet Lunch (Great for veg & vegans)
We highly recommend these guys for a tour if you are in Goreme, Turkey.
