A Site For Sore Eyes
Mahir's Homepage

Ladies and gentlemen, a phenomenon. This week's Site For Sore Eyes is a simple, homemade webpage done by Mahir, a friendly Turkish chap with a great tash and some natty suits, who plays the accordion and table tennis. It's the usual amateur hotch potch of text and scanned-in photos, but it's also one of the most visited sites on the web, with over one million hits.

Words really can't do justice to the site's unique appeal, so click here and see what it's all about for yourself.

The site has been featured in national newspapers and magazines all around the world, and the man himself tells the fascinating story behind the website and what happened when he became a recognised face and name all around the world. After reading this page, we're sure you'll agree that Mahir is a true star. We take our hats off to a genuine online legend, who also sounds like a jolly nice chap. We're all ready to take him up on his offer of staying at his house too...
