Hospitality
Hospitality is one of the cornerstones of the Turkish way of life.Following his naturally friendly instincts,the Turk is a most gracious and generous host.Even the poorest peasant feels bound to honour his guest in the best popular manner.

The Turkish Bath
One of the truly unmissable experiences of a trip to Turkey is a visit to the hamam.Like the harem,this Roman and Byzantine tradition was adopted and then perfected by the Selcuk Turks ,for whom the public bath took on an important role. The first room in "Hamam" encountered is the "camekan",a square court with a fountain surrounded by small individual changing cubicles.This leads into a small "sogukluk",or cooling off section,opening into the "hararet",the hot and steamy,marble clad baths.
