All our carpet-related articles in one place: Turkish carpets and their Anatolian roots, symbolism and tribal motifs—now echoed in Neolithic sites like Taş Tepeler. Plus: kilim vs carpet, and our picks for fair-price makers and trustworthy stores.
The Other Tour is an immersive way to experience Istanbul and the rest of Turkey, led by licensed local guides who take you beyond the tourist spots into the lived culture and quiet corners of Cappadocia, Antalya, Ephesus, Bodrum, and the Mediterranean. We also build personalized travel planning, private tours, and custom itineraries — crafted around what you’re actually curious about, in any region of the country.
