Our Olympos peshtemal is a modern representation of the seaside city for which it is named. With modern, wavy lines and bold colorways, the Olympos would make an excellent beach, pool, and travel towel. It's also the perfect weight for a sarong, scarf, or shawl. Pick one up in every color and you will be set for summer!
Made from 100% hand-loomed Turkish cotton in the inner Aegean region of Denizli. We have carefully sourced our Turkish textiles to ensure that the manufacturing process supports small, family-run businesses. Please embrace any variations in size or weaving as a unique quality of your handmade piece.

About Olympos:
Located in Southwestern Turkiye, Olympos is thought to have been established during the the 4th century BC. With its strategic seaside location in addition to being in a river valley, it was an important maritime trade city, even falling to pirates during Roman times. Today, Olympos is a low-key tourist site to visit, with bed-and-breakfast-type pensions scattered throughout the mountains for those who want to visit less crowded sites.
