Ottomania
Ottomania is Turkey's largest carpet and rug retailer. The carpet is priced between $1000 and $10000. Handicrafts and handmade rugs and carpets are well-known in Turkey. The authenticity of the material and designs on these carpets is something that cannot be found anywhere else.
These rugs can be purchased as souvenirs at some of the best shopping destinations in Turkey, providing you with a taste of Turkey that will last a lifetime.
Tips: Negotiating for the best price is part of the game, but don't be fooled: the salespeople know what they're doing, especially on higher-priced items with a lot of quality variation. They know what they'll accept as the lowest price, and they almost always have a head start on critical issues that determine real value for money. Remember that the uninformed are more likely to purchase counterfeit or "genuine fakes" goods.
