Fodor's Expert Review Odabaşı Halıcılık
The Bazaar Quarter and Environs
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Odabaşı, in the Bab-ı Ali Carpet and Kilim Bazaar, specializes in rugs and kilims from Turkey and the surrounding region—particularly antiques, although there are some new pieces as well. Proprietor İsmet Odabasio is primarily a wholesaler of rugs with a busy export business to the United States, but he is happy to work directly with customers looking for special pieces at reasonable prices.
