I remember my first visit to Turkey, many moons ago, (I was a teenager, so that shows how long ago it was !) I stayed in a budget hotel - with NO air conditioning (a mistake I will never make again !). It was extremely hot, and the country was experiencing a real heat wave....I remember soaking beach towels in cold water, and lying in the middle of them ! one night I spent most of it in the shower myself. Dreadful experience :0(
