This was one of the most fascinating moments from our Ephesus (Kuşadası) cruise port day. We stopped at a local rug factory and watched a live demonstration of how silk is made — starting with silkworm cocoons in warm water, brushing the strands, and threading them onto a hand‑turned machine. If your cruise itinerary includes Ephesus or Kuşadası, this is such a unique cultural experience to add to your day.
