Are Turkish cotton towels better than regular terry towels?

Turkish-cotton flat-weave towels are repeatedly praised by specialist communities and verified-methodology testers for drying fast, resisting musty smells, and packing small, which makes them favorites for travel and gyms. Plush terry towels remain the choice when reviewers want a thick, spa-like feel after a shower, so the 'better' option depends on whether you prioritize quick-dry or loft.
