Thong bikinis and metallic silver hotpants

Turkey can be quite conservative about female modesty. It is not unusual to see women swimming in full draped costumes from head to foot.

In sailing coves and tavernas like Sogut, the dress code is generally whatever is cool and informal. T-shirts more common than proper shirts, shorts are universal.

Given those two aspects of Turkey it has been particularly fascinating to see our culturally sensitive Russian neighbours sporting thong bikinis by day (although the only buckles in eyes were perhaps from 4 middle-aged Brits on the next boat) and for dinner very very high heels and (honestly) shiny metallic hotpants. I'm sorry my nerve failed when it came to photographs, so instead you have the jetty and the view from the sun beds and the shady lounging area.
