Carpet is one of the most important decorative items in the art history of the Turks. Its origins go back to ancient times for aesthetic purposes and covering the floor to make it warm. Sometimes, you may also see rugs (kilims) in Turkish homes beside the carpets. Different motifs on them tell different stories.

On this tour, your guide will talk you through the manufacturing process, and you’ll have the chance to see those pieces of art and motifs up close and imagine how many skilled carpet artists used their craftsmanship. You may think about the stories they had in mind while creating those gorgeous hand-made carpets and kilims.
