I, and many friends of mine, had a great experience! The trick is to not expect too much, especially when reading the advertised durations, and just let the experience happen. I think we spend about an hour for the traditional scrub, bubble massage, head washing and just relaxing in the heat. A small part of our group felt like their experience was clearly more rushed than the others. So things might depend on who's assigned to take care of you.

The Turkish bath experience in a building of the 16th century Ottoman architect Sinan was exciting. Being my first time in an experience like this, I can't compare, I tried to live it and observe it. I have been to different Spas and I know it is not comparable, if I can say something negative it is that it lasted less than an hour.

Take a break from the daily grind and relax at a 500-year-old Turkish bathhouse close to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and prominent landmarks.

Relax your muscles, rest in a steam bath, enjoy the scrubbing, and feel your worries melting away. This is the ultimate way to enjoy your holiday.

Your experience is topped off with a tea-drinking session, adding another layer to your relaxation.

Opt for a massage if you'd like to indulge more in self-care and unwind in this soothing atmosphere for an experience you will truly cherish.

The experience is good but the tip is optional and the man that made the bath for my father was very insistent with the tip and not friendly.

With stress at an all-time high, this is a good excuse to head to a Turkish bathhouse for a relaxing soak. Even better if it is a 500-year-old historic bath that still keeps its traditions! The Cemberlitas Hamam was built in 1584 by the famous Ottoman architect, Mimar Sinan for Sultan's wife. Located next to the entrance of Grand Bazaar, it is easy to find and offers services like massages, manicures, and pedicures. Your experience here includes scrubbing, foaming, and relaxing, followed by a tea-drinking experience. Men and women have different sections, and each visitor gets a locker room with a bed, mirror, and a hairdryer. Moreover, you don't have to carry anything with you. The bathhouse has towels, slippers, shampoo, soap, deodorant, hairspray, and gel. While your experience can last approximately 1.5 hours, you can stay in for as long as you like. You can also opt for a good massage if you'd like to enjoy more self-care and if there is time in hand. It is totally worth it!
