Country of two continents, occidental and exotic. Turkey lives by European time but to the rhythm of the Middle East.
Turkish baths have always been an important part of Turkish culture. People spend enjoyable moments sweating or having a massage under the steam-filled domes. First, they undress and put on a pestemal (a piece of cloth that is wrapped around the waist) and nadin (wooden sandals) so as not to slip on the wet marble floor.

Iam still amazed by the noiseless yet impressive force and elegance of this magnificent vessel, as its 2,300 plus square feet of canvas tied to a ninety foot mast pull it forward at speeds seldom seen on sailing yachts this size.
