Speaking of Turkey... I recall reading several magazine articles about bare and crewed charter boats on the Turkey coast. The boats were sailboats of around 15 to 20 meters and I remember them as beautifully designed with a center saloon, ketch rigged and very nicely laid out. In fact, they were a lot like Bandersnatch which I designed as a crewed charter boat for the Caribbean. (Unfortunately, not so good as a retirement boat, too big, galley down instead of up)
But I was very impressed with the excellent design of these boats as a class. I think they had a specific name too.
