A hammam is a traditional steam bath experience that combines warmth, water, exfoliation,
cleansing and relaxation. Depending on the service you choose, your experience may include
exfoliation with a kese glove, olive oil soap foam cleansing, hair washing, massage or other
wellness rituals.

Depending on the selected service, the experience may include time in the warm hammam
room, body exfoliation, rinsing, foam cleansing, hair washing and massage.

We provide a peştemal towel, slippers, kese exfoliating glove, soap, towels and access to
changing rooms, showers and a personal locker.

You may bring your swimsuit if you wish. If you do not have one, we provide disposable
underwear.
You do not need to bring anything else. Towels, slippers, personal lockers, showers and basic
care products such as shampoo, conditioner and body lotion are available on site.

We recommend arriving a few minutes early, so you have enough time to change and prepare
comfortably.

It is also recommended to drink water before your visit and avoid having a heavy meal
immediately before your hammam experience.

The duration depends on the service you choose. Most hammam experiences last between 60
and 90 minutes.
The exact duration is displayed in the description of each service during the booking process.

prepare for the treatment. You may sit or lie on the warm marble surfaces and pour warm or
cool water over your body.

different stages of the ritual, such as kese exfoliation, rinsing, olive oil soap foam cleansing,
