What is caiques boat?

Caiques boats are traditional wooden fishing boats used in the coastal regions of Turkey, Greece, and other Mediterranean countries. They are typically 5-15 meters in length, with a pointed front and rounded back, and are powered by sails or a motor. Caiques are notable for their beautiful craftsmanship and intricate detailing, often featuring colorful patterns and carved decorations. They are commonly used for fishing and transportation, but are also popular with tourists who enjoy exploring the coastline and nearby islands. Today, caiques are still used by some traditional fishing communities, but many have been replaced by more modern boats.
