Source For Turkish Soap?

While visiting the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, I purchased a bar of soap made from olive oil and lemon. The vendor claimed that this type of soap was used in some of the hammams. I have searched the internet for a similar product, with no luck. Is there an online source for olive/lemon and other types of authentic Turkish soap?

Thanks for the info. Those eBay soaps are supposedly made in Costa Rica, using Turkish olive oil, but they still look great. I ordered a few bars. Thanks again for locating this source.

Pricey, but maybe you can go to a store and check it out first.

Thanks for that Pottery Barn suggestion. There is a branch semi-near, and I can check out those soaps in person. Thanks again.

Tulumba.com, a site that sells Turkish products from a New York warehouse has a number of olive oil plus other types of soaps:

bestturkishfoods.com is cheaper and our daughter has been buying from them for three years:
