This is not potty humor! From the Minoans to the Caliphate (part 2 of 3)
My travels in Turkey and Greece reminded me that I had NOT continued my series on toilets and bathrooms around the world! So I paid special attention to these attractions this time around. Surprisingly sophisticated facilities were found wherever I went, be it the Sultan’s harem at the Topkapi palace or the ruins of Ephesus.
