I've never heard of a bath/basin not having a plug!
Hi, apparently becuase the main religion is Islam they believe you should only wash under running water and therefore very few places have plugs in their wash basins. I have been told this by many friends who visit Turkey regularly.
Best advice is to go to your local DIY or supermarket and buy a couple of universal plugs and bring them with you.
Sprattling was right, this is because of the belief that you can only be truely clean via running water.
I used to squish a half lemon into the plughole - it does to keep the water in the basin if you're doing a wee bit of washing etc.
Thanks for the tip about the lemon Elaine.
A squash ball does the same job
you can buy some plugs which have a very large upper part with a small centre part. So they will fit various sizes
I worry more about the plumbing to the toilet......
