Galerie İkman @ Göreme, Cappadocia

#turkiye #travel We discovered this cool shop while researching for our trip to Türkiye. It was one of the first places to appear on our must-visit list, so we decided to check it out on our last day in Cappadocia. The shop looked unique and beautiful from the outside when we arrived. Located in downtown Göreme, it stood out from the surrounding buildings due to the rugs decorating the walls everywhere in front of the shop, giving it a really cool appearance. When we went inside, there were no other tourists, possibly because it was still early in the morning. The staff working there informed us that there would be a fee of $35 for two people to take photos and explore the shop. They were setting up something in the office, which resembled a studio. They also mentioned that there were three more rooms in the building filled with beautiful rugs for us to explore. We decided to pay the fee and explore the shop while taking some photos. The place was really impressive, almost like a staged set with an abundance of beautiful rugs and props, perfect for capturing stunning photos. However, the downside was that the shop felt quite small for the $35 price tag for two people. The three rooms filled with rugs inside the building were also quite small. We ended up finishing our visit in less than 15 minutes. Despite this, we managed to get some cool photos, and based on our research, this shop is considered one of the landmarks to visit when traveling to Cappadocia. So, mission accomplished!
