Naturism in Turkey

Because of the local culture, traditions, and religion, naturism or nudism in Turkey is pretty much non-existing. At least not in an official way.

There are rumors about beaches at the Aegean Sea which are sometimes used for skinny dipping, but the reports are scarse and few people seem to be able or willing to provide detailed information.

A very popular form of social nudity in Turkey, albeit gender separated, can be found in the many bathhouses or hammams. This is a traditional way of communal bathing which can also be enjoyed by tourists. The use of a towel as cover is most often required.
