Experiences
Dastar weaving, which is as old as the Turkic tribes’ settlement in the region, is a local weaving type. It is a characteristic type of weaving on which patterns, preferably of the same colour, with bleached cotton yarn, woven on a shuttle loom. In the Dastarhane in Fethiye, the textiles unique to the region attract the attention of the visitors. Kolan, woven in various colours and patterns in the form of thin and long belts, is another handicraft that carries cultural elements unique to the Fethiye region.
Fethiye camel rugs are very important in nomadic culture to make the caravan ostentatious during migration between the plateau and the coast. This is an important moment for nomad women to display their talents.
