A 450-year-old lodge converted into a carpet shop in Turkey\u2019s central Cappadocia region attracts tourists with its unusual decoration.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Ikman said that social media savvies flock to the lodge, as it is a great spot for photo shooting.<\/p>\n
He added that the carpet shop especially attracts tourists from far eastern countries, including China.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
James Zhan, a tourist from China, said that he and his friends were amazed by Cappadocia\u2019s natural beauty.<\/p>\n

Zhan said that he decided to visit the carpet shop after seeing its photos on social media. \u201cIt is a very beautiful place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
