Istanbul Bien-être

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.

Visité un matin de semaine, il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde. C'est un endroit avec une longue histoire (on ne le devinerait pas vraiment et honnêtement, ce n'est pas si important) et le couple âgé qui gère l'établissement a été très accueillant envers les touristes étrangers. Le bain a été effectué par une charmante dame d'Indonésie et c'était pour le moins relaxant. Enfin, cette activité serait "moins chère" si elle était achetée via le Klook Pass.
