What is a Turkish Bath?

A Turkish Bath, also known as a Hammam, is a traditional bathing experience that has been an integral part of Turkish culture for centuries. It combines the practices and rituals of ancient Roman and Byzantine bathhouses with traditional Turkish customs.

Typically, a Turkish Bath consists of several steps that follow a predetermined ritual:

• Steaming: Upon entering the bathhouse, you will spend some time in a steam room. The warm and humid environment will help open your pores and prepare your body for the cleansing ritual.
• Gommage: After steaming, you will be guided to a warm marble slab where an experienced attendant, known as a ‘tellak’ or ‘nasiptar,’ will scrub your body with a special exfoliating mitt called a ‘kese.’ This process removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth.
• Massage: Once your skin is thoroughly cleansed, you can opt for a relaxing and invigorating massage. The masseuse will use aromatic oils and soothing strokes to ease any tension and restore balance to your body.
• Swimming Pool: After the bath and massage, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, further enhancing the relaxation and rejuvenation process.

Tips for a Fantastic Turkish Bath Experience

Now that you have a basic understanding of what a Turkish Bath entails, here are some tips to help you make the most of your experience:
