Experience Details
The Turkish Bath (Hammam) Experience
Escape the busy streets and treat yourself to a timeless Istanbul tradition. The Turkish bath is a relaxing ritual designed to clean, refresh, and soothe tired muscles after a long day of sightseeing.
How It Works
- 1. Steam & Warm Up: Relax on a heated marble platform inside a beautiful, warm stone room. The steam loosens your muscles and opens your pores.
- 2. Body Scrub (Kese): An experienced attendant uses a special silk mitt to scrub away dead skin, leaving your skin soft and smooth.
- 3. Foam Massage: You are covered in a cloud of warm, olive-oil soap bubbles and given a soft, full-body massage.
- 4. Cool Down & Tea: Rinse off with cool water, wrap up in a soft towel, and sip warm Turkish tea in the lounge while you rest.
Leave feeling completely refreshed, clean, and ready for the rest of your trip!
