If you are in Istanbul you MUST go to the Cagaloglu Hammam. What a fabulous experience and fantastic way to participate in the Ottoman culture and feel immersed in this unique Turkish experience. Three girlfriends shared this amazing experience together and it still brings smiles and laughter and feels like a big warm hug! ❤️

This was a great experience. Nothing erotic about it. It was relaxing. Very invigorating. The Hamamı guy who was assigned to me was great. Respect and care. Massage was good too. Overall 100% recommend for a great experience at a Turkish bath. Will be going back if I get to Istanbul again!

Enjoy entry to Cagaloglu Hammam and traditional Turkish bath treatments in a historic marble setting, where Ottoman sultans once relaxed.

Kick off with 15 minutes in a steam room, a 10-min kese scrub, and indulge in a bubble bath with a foam massage.

Go for the 60-min session to extend the bubble bath or choose the 80-min treatment to enjoy a 20-min foot massage.

Treat yourself to the 105-min spa for private aromatherapy and Turkish snacks, or opt for the 120-min package for a collagen mask glow-up!

The 135-min experience offers the ultimate luxury with dual treatments and a 15-minute foot/hand massage for some more de-stressing.
