Turkish rug weaving is a centuries-old tradition and one of Türkiye's most treasured cultural arts. Handmade rugs are woven using natural wool, silk, or cotton, with patterns and colors that often symbolize love, family, prosperity, protection, and regional heritage. Each rug is created by skilled artisans using traditional hand-knotting techniques, and depending on its size and complexity, it can take months or even years to complete.

In the end of the tour, you go back to Kusadasi port or hotel.
