Turkish towels

I have been trying to find a solution to the towel issue for a long time. 

After much research, I decided to buy a Turkish towel, 

also known as pestemal, peshtemal, fouta or hammam towel.

They're a rectangular piece of 100% cotton, often with fringes.

Very thin and light - saves space and weight.

Very absorbent and dries much faster than a regular towel.

Can also be used as beach cover, shawl or light blanket.

(Peshtemal size: 100 cm x 180 cm ( 39" x 70" ))
