Perfect day trip, friendly welcoming village
We were collected at 10.30 in the morning and were welcomed to the village of Etrim by Tony and his lovely colleague. We had the most perfect day learning about the history of Etrim and carpets. We were taught by two students showing us how to weave using the vertical loom. The history is beautiful and rich in culture. We were shown many beautiful carpets and kilims and have purchased a few to be shipped over to the UK which will arrive within 6-8 weeks. We had a lovely lunch, too much for two people but very traditional. We were taken back to our hotel about 4pm. Would highly recommend, be prepared to purchase to carpet or kilim. I would definitely return to Etrim in the future should I plan on buying any more carpets. The guides were so friendly and welcoming. I can’t fault the trip, throughly enjoyed. Bring cash to buy and handmade necklaces and for home made orange juice or lemonade.

Carpet weaving and lunch
We had a hiccup at the start of the trip as the tour operator took us to the marina for the pirate excursion when we had booked the carpet weaving experience which set us back by about 40 mins. However, once we properly set off to the village to learn about the history of the village and carpet weaving, we had a great time. We were given the opportunity to get hands on experience with tying the knots and weaving the threads which was very therapeutic and fun. The lunch was also very delicious and plentiful. The people of the village were also very patient and kind. Would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Bodrum :)

Experience of a life time❤️❤️❤️
Etrim Village is a hidden gem nestled just a few miles from Bodrum — a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. This quaint, picturesque village is steeped in history, charm, and the quiet beauty of the countryside. My sisters and I absolutely fell in love with Etrim. One of the highlights of our visit was learning about the village’s rich tradition of carpet weaving — a craft passed down through generations. We even got hands-on experience, guided by our kind and patient teacher, who didn’t mind our many beginner mistakes. The process was unexpectedly therapeutic, almost meditative. The people of Etrim welcomed us with warmth and genuine hospitality. We enjoyed a delicious local lunch that was simply unforgettable — hats off to the chef! Afterwards, we strolled through the village with our wonderful guide, breathing in the fresh air and soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds this peaceful haven. Etrim Village is more than just a place — it’s an experience that touches your heart. I know I’ll return one day, because some memories are too special not to relive.

Incredible Carpet Weaving Workshop And More!
This experience was amazing. We got picked up from our hotel in Bodrum city and driven to a beautiful remote village. We were greeted warmly by the locals, taken on a fascinating tour all around the village and then we were shown how the carpets are woven and got to practice ourselves! It was a dream come true. We also had a delicious authentic Turkish lunch, with far more food than we could eat. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Best local experience!
This is the best local experience I've had in my two summer visits to Bodrum! I had a day to myself, traveling solo, and decided to book this experience at a local village. It was a beautiful drive and a fun experience that gave me added respect for the art of carpet weaving. The provided lunch (in the experience I booked) was the best food I think I've ever had in my life. I bought two carpets (shipped free) and will treasure them for a lifetime!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bodrum.
How much does Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bodrum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bodrum is not rushed.
Is Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bodrum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bodrum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bodrum and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Turkish Carpet Weaving & Village Experience in Bodrum start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bodrum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bodrum?
+
On Outty we rank every Bodrum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Boat Trip to the Turkish Maldives- Orak Island, Private Bodrum City Tour for Cruisers, Bodrum Orak Island (Turkish Maldives) Boat Trip. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bodrum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bodrum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
