Turkish Carpet Weaving Courses at CaravanTurkey Gokpinar Cultural Center
Gokpinar is an old Yörük village with a population of about 100. It is located on the Aegean Coast of Turkey, only 40 minutes from the centre of Bodrum but a world away from its heavy tourist traffic. Here you will experience real Turkish village life.
The Cultural Center is on a hilltop on the edge of the village overlooking its whitewashed homes below and with views of pine-covered mountains for miles around. We are a 10-minute drive to a lovely beach and five minutes from the nearest village market.
