Dear International Living Reader,
Deep in Kayseri’s Vezir Hani, where Turkish Silk Road merchants used to park their camels, Steenie takes tea with hat maker Cultured Mustafa.
In his shop she finds a suitcase stuffer that could bring a 3,000% return back in England.
But even deeper in the ancient caravanserai, she meets Mehmet Baspinar, who gives her the bottom line on fine woolen kilim rugs.
See how Steenie beats the sharks and saves more than $300 below.
