Istanbul for history geeks

It was clean and very welcoming. The bath began with a hot room. I was worried that it would be too hot. It was just fine. The the lady came to me with her scrubber, I can't remember the name, and scrubbed 76 years of old skin from me. After that I was completely covered with bubbles and the masssge began. I signed up for a 45 minute treatment so the massage was on the short side. Then she tossed buckets of water all over me. She washed my hair and more warm water was tossed. She then lead me to a quiet area where tea and Turkish delight was offered. Soon thereafter I went back to my locker, got dressed, and if I wanted to fix my hair the tools were available. I chose an 8 PM appointment so I could just walk back to the hotel. I sure slept well that night. I very highly praise the procedure and this hamman was terrific. We need to have these in the states!

It worked exactly as described. The audio guide on your cell phone was great. All the stations were excitingly narrated.
