About the Hammam

What Is a Turkish Bath?

The Turkish bath, or hammam, has been at the heart of Istanbul life for centuries. More than a place to wash, it is a ritual of warmth, cleansing and rest, where steam and heated marble prepare the body for a deep, traditional cleanse.

At Cemberlitas Spa Turkish Bath, attendants guide you through each step: warming up, an invigorating kese scrub, a soft foam massage and warm rinses. You leave with silky skin, a relaxed body and a true taste of Ottoman tradition, just steps from the Old City.

Step by Step

How a Turkish Bath Works

  1. Warm Up

    Relax in the warmth of the hammam and on the heated marble navel stone as your body slowly unwinds.

  2. Kese Scrub

    Your attendant exfoliates your whole body with a traditional kese mitt, lifting away dead skin.

  3. Foam Massage

    A cloud of soft, fragrant foam covers your body, followed by a gentle, soothing massage.

  4. Rinse & Rest

    Warm water rinses complete the ritual. Take your time to rest before heading back into the city.
