The Turkish Bath

Pubblicato il da Diego

Experiencing an authentic Turkish bath is a key ingredient in many people's holiday in Turkey. Hamams are found in hotels and also in more traditional establishments.


Men and women use the facilities separately, either on different days, in different areas or at different times. You can choose whether to go for the self- service option or whether to opt for a traditional wash and massage from a bath attendant. Sometimes, other services are also on offer such as reflexology, facials or other types of massage.

The first experience in the Turkish bath is the hot room. Be prepared - it is very hot! After about quarter of an hour, your attendant will return and wash you and then your massage begins. Following the massage, you enter the cold room to cool down.

Try to find an out of the way hamam for a less touristy experience. It will be better value for money and also more authentic.
