A 450-year-old lodge converted into a carpet shop in Turkey's central Cappadocia region attracts tourists with its unusual decoration.
Covered with hand-knotted carpets featuring Anatolian motifs on its walls and ceiling, the lodge has long been serving as a carpet shop, according to the owner, Serkan Ikman.
Ikman said that social media savvies flock to the lodge, as it is a great spot for photo shooting.
He added that the carpet shop especially attracts tourists from far eastern countries, including China.
"It is a 450-year-old lodge, where people traveling used to stay. It is one of the oldest buildings in the Goreme region and has been used as a carpet shop for a long time," he said.
James Zhan, a tourist from China, said that he and his friends were amazed by Cappadocia's natural beauty.
Cappadocia, which lies in Central Anatolia's Nevsehir province, is a tourist favorite with its famous underground cities and houses carved into rocks, alongside its "fairy chimney" volcanic cones.
