Kusadasi Carpet Weaving Excursion Reviews

Carpets are nice, but not worth the thinly-veiled sales pitch. Utter waste.

We had a lovely lunch here that was included in our tour price. We very much enjoyed learning about the weaving process and materials used. The method of making silk was fascinating. The carpets were lovely and the hospitality was gracious, but we were not in the market to purchase. Still, it was a treat to see the carpets and how the colors changed in the light.

Great tour but would have skipped the carpet weaving demonstration at the end to venture out to the town before heading back to boat. Still had time afterwards to have a drink on the pier though.

Not that interesting. Very sales-oiented with very pushy and persuasive sales people.

This was something very new to me and I found it fascinating. The owner of the business was great allowing my wife to try tying the knots and when the weaver had done a few more rows it was obvious which knots my wife had done. It is a lot more difficult then it looks. We were shown many examples of the carpets which were lovely but we were no in the market to but any. The owner was not pushy trying to make a sale and even gave us a coffee before we left.

Was setup to sell you carpets. Weaving demonstration interesting.

The beginning was interesting. As the demonstration progresses, it became an elaborate sales pitch. We found that anti-climatic after such a fabulous visit to the Terrace Houses.
