Istanbul Wellness

My therapist was strong and firm-handed. I was bathed like a baby and left feeling thoroughly relaxed and refreshed after a day exploring Sultanahmet. Tip is expected for this.

It was a really interesting experience and was better than what I expected. We were first brought to a sauna room, then fetched by a staff, who will scrub (incl your face) and bubble foam you up before washing you off and sending you on your way. You get a room to yourself to change in and to keep your belongings. The staff expects to be tipped - so bring cash if you would like to.

It was my first time at a hamam, and it was a good experience. My masseur, Serkar (I hope I spelled that right), provided amazing service. The only downside was that I didn't get a scrub, but my wife did.

Navštíveno dopoledne v týdnu a nebylo to přelidněné. Je to místo s dlouhou historií (což na první pohled není příliš vidět a upřímně to ani není tak důležité) a starší manželský pár, který místo vedl, byl k zahraničním turistům velmi vstřícný. Koupel prováděla milá paní z Indonésie a byla přinejmenším relaxační. Na závěr, tato aktivita by byla „levnější“, pokud by byla zakoupena prostřednictvím Klook Passu.
