The experience continues with a luxurious foam massage that relaxes your muscles and transports you to a state of complete serenity.

The Hamam was the highlight of my visit to Istanbul. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was relaxing and the staff very friendly. The steam room was a perfect introduction as it allowed me to work up a sweat to remove stress and relax my muscles before the scrub. The traditional method used by the attendants was thorough and left my skin softer and more rejuvenated than any other treatment I have experienced. The whole process felt like a ritual, a journey back in time to an ancient tradition that is still very much alive today.

Entering the Hamam is like entering a sanctuary for the senses. The heat and steam prepare the body for the intense exfoliation, which is surprisingly invigorating. The whole process is steeped in tradition, and every movement and gesture is performed with precision. The staff are experts at making you feel welcome and relaxed, ensuring that the experience is as relaxing as it is cleansing. The marble floors, warm water and soft lighting create a calming atmosphere that makes it easy to release stress and enjoy the moment. It is a transformative experience that makes you feel like a new person.

Visiting the Hamam was one of the highlights of my trip to Turkey. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing, with the gentle sounds of the water and the dim lighting creating the perfect ambience. The ritual itself was both physically and emotionally cleansing: it began with the steam room to open the pores, followed by the exfoliation, which was both thorough and invigorating. The attendants were knowledgeable and attentive, and ensured that every detail of the experience was perfect. Afterwards, I felt completely relaxed and revitalised, as if I had shed not only dead skin cells, but also a layer of stress and fatigue
