Turkish Hamams... a new addiction - We had never been to a Hamam before...and now we're sold for life. It's a bit of a twist on a typical spa experience, with focus on the bathing process. The Cagologlu Hamam experience offered here is superlative. One of the oldest and best hamams in the city, this traditional Ottoman Hamam offers the full works. We had booked a 120 mins experience with the sauna, exfoliating, bathing, oiling, foot massage and collagen masks and were left aching for more of this most pleasurable odyssey. Our therapists, Berna and Ayse for my daughter and Yulis and Bela (who sang old Hindi film songs for me🥰) were amazing. As my daughter said, this is a new addiction!

Traditional Turkish bath - Excellent experience Knowing that it’s such an old tradition we had to try it, it’s a bit rustic the whole experience, considering that you must be naked (only a small disposable underwear they provide), along with ten other girls, first take you to Turkish, hot and then they already take you to fight where the marble plates are, assign you to a “carver” who speaks no other language, literally calls you all over the body with a rag, that’s not so nice... because you’re lying on the marble plate a bit uncomfortable, and then come the foam bath, which I did enjoy a lot, then they rinse you buckets and wash your hair in a bit rough, and already finish the experience in the anteroom with a tea and some sweets... strange experience but I think if you go to Istanbul you must do it, at least once in your life.

Great Experience - Nothing like actually experiencing the history of Istanbul! From the ancient interior architecture to the actual bathing procedure, nothing can compare. If you ever have the opportunity, it's a "must do"!

Incredible Turkish bath experience! - We didn’t know what to expect about our first Turkish bath. We were so happy with the experience. It was the best! Our therapists/bathers were so professional and thorough. The bath house itself was 300 years old and looked original with marble everywhere. This was just such a pleasant, authentic experience. With a great massage too!! Highly recommended.
