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

The Hamam was unlike any other spa experience I have had. It is a deeply ritualistic process that involves not only washing, but also a cultural connection to the past. The staff are experts at making you feel comfortable and at ease, guiding you through the different steps of the experience with care. The heat of the steam rooms is intense, but helps to relax the muscles and prepare the skin for the scrub. The whole experience is a blend of tradition and luxury, leaving you feeling not only cleansed, but spiritually renewed.

A visit to the Hamam is not just a spa treatment, it is a deeply immersive experience. From the moment you enter, the warmth envelops you and you feel your worries begin to disappear. The sound of the water and the sight of the marble tiles create a peaceful atmosphere that helps you focus on relaxation. The scrub was intense but incredibly satisfying: as it removed dead skin cells, I felt it also removed stress. Afterwards, I felt lighter, refreshed and at peace. It is an experience everyone should have at least once when visiting Turkey

My visit to the Hamam was a transformative experience. Entering the warm, dimly lit space made me feel as if I was entering a sanctuary where time stood still. The warmth of the steam room was intense but comforting, and helped to open up my pores and release tension in my muscles. The exfoliation ritual was incredibly invigorating: each pass of the cloth seemed to remove not only dead skin cells, but also the stress and worries of the day. The attentive staff made the experience personal and special, enhancing the feeling of escape and relaxation. I left feeling not only cleaner, but truly revitalised
