A peshtamel is a traditional Turkish towel made from cotton or linen, known for its lightweight and quick-drying properties. Often used in hammams (Turkish baths), it serves as a versatile item for drying off, wrapping around the body, or as a beach towel. Peshtamels are typically handwoven, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors, making them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Their compact size and portability make them popular for travel and outdoor activities.
