Weaving carpets seems like difficult work, but the finished products are lovely. This carpet factory was near Ephesus and Selcuk, a segment from "What the Sultan Saw", highlighting the history of Turkey and Constantinople/Istanbul, featuring the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires, plus modern Turkey.

This free Intrepid Berkeley Explorer video tour of western and central Turkey stars the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Cappadocia (land of scenic fairy chimneys), Ephesus (and other Roman cities), the Turkish Riviera, Turkish folk dancing and belly dancing, shopping for the magic flying carpet, and much more.
