Peshtemal is a flat-woven fabric that originated almost 600 years ago in Mediterranean/Anatolian civilisations. The essential ingredient of the Peshtemal is the Turkish cotton grown on the rich soil in south of Turkey nearby the sunny Mediterranean shore.
 
Peshtemal is up to 4 times lighter and can soak water as much as a regular terry towel.
