ITINERARY;

CARPET WORKSHOP: We visit a women’s co-operative carpet workshop. Unfortunately, ladies in Turkey contributes far less to the economy than men. Co-operatives enable women to be financially independent and gain self-confidence.

Anything you might buy from these shops will help the local economy and will help those ladies become more independent.
