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.

Besøgt en hverdagsmorgen, og der var ikke overfyldt. Det er et sted med en lang historie (hvilket man ikke rigtigt kan mærke, og ærlig talt er det heller ikke så vigtigt), og det ældre par, der driver stedet, var meget imødekommende over for udenlandske turister. Badningen blev udført af en dejlig dame fra Indonesien, og det var mildest talt afslappende. Endelig ville denne aktivitet være "billigere", hvis den købes via Klook Pass
