Turkish towels actually refer to Peshtemals (or called as hammam towels). I am copying the description of Turkish towels below which I got from the shop (www.theanatolian.etsy.com) where I bought my beautiful Turkish towels;

'Used in the Turkish baths for centuries, 'Peshtemal' is a traditional Turkish towel, absorbs water as fast as towels, dries five times quicker and are extremely lightweight and easy to carry in your bag, luggage or storage.
Peshtemals do not only provide practical, cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions (it consumes less cotton in production, also water and detergent), but also an elegant look as trendy beach towel (sand free!), pareo or sarong. Basically perfect for everyday use at the gym, sauna, spa, yoga centers, hotels, travel, pool, beach or simply on boat. Last but not least, it is unisex.

Our Peshtemals are hand woven from natural famous Turkish cotton with hand-knotted tassels following a centuries-old technique. They come in a huge array of colors, all playful and reminiscent of Spring'.

Cheers,
