• Traditional Turkish Bath...
per person 30 Euros (45 min)
 The Turkish Bath (Turkish: hamam; from Arabic: حمّام, ḥammām) is the Middle Eastern variant of a steam bath which can be categorized as a different type of the sauna. The Turkish Bath has played an important role in the culture of Middle-East serving as social gatherings, ritual cleansing with its architectural importance. Europeans learned about the Hamam by means of Ottomans. That's why it is still mentioned as Turkish Bath in Europe.
In Western Europe, the Turkish Bath as a method of cleansing and relaxation was particularly popular during the Victorian Era. The process of having Turkish Bath is similar to the process of sauna; but it is much more related to the ancient Roman bathing practices.
A person having Turkish Bath first relaxes in a room (known as the warm room) that is heated by a continuous flow of hot, dry air allowing the bather to perspire freely.
After that, bathers move to an even hotter room (known as the hot room) before splashing themselves with cold water. After performing a full body wash and receiving a massage, bathers finally retire to the cooling-room for relaxation.
In Turkey, the increase of modern plumbing systems, showers, and bathtubs at homes caused the fading of importance of hamams in recent times.
