Turkish "kaiki" in Canakkele Harbor

All over Turkey and in the northern Aegen of Greece, this type of boat is typical. It is a kaiki and the first one we saw was outside of Athens before we went through the Corinth Canal. They are wooden, and very lovely. Mostly used for tourists now, they are traditionally coastal ships. Wide, deep and very roomy inside. We were invited in for tea by a skipper in Atakoy Marina in Istanbul. They are still being built and are expensive, but lovely to see on the water.
