An experience for body and soul
The tradition of visiting a Turkish bath (hamam) came into being because of the demand for personal hygiene in the Koran. A Turkish bath starts in a marble lined room with a cupola in the ceiling, sinks along the walls and a massive marble block in the middle.
The treatment begins once the pores of the body are opened by the warm moist air. Most of the dirt is then removed by scrubbing the whole body with a special glove. Soon it will become obvious that you were not as clean as you may have thought!
After a shower the body is once more soaped up and washed thoroughly. All the dirt and grime in the skin is quickly washed away.
The treatment finishes with an oil massage where all joints and muscles are loosened. A perfect ending to a very relaxing experience.
A hamam is suitable for all and most places have mixed or separate sessions.
