Arrival and Welcome

Once you arrive at the Ottoman Hammam, you will be greeted by the reception staff. You’ll be guided to your private changing area and locker.

Warming Up in the Hot Room

You will spend some time relaxing in the warm marble room to prepare your body for cleansing. The steam helps open pores and softens the skin.

Scrub and Foam Massage

A professional attendant will provide a traditional body scrub and foam massage on the heated marble platform. This is the core part of the Turkish bath ritual and helps remove dead skin.

Optional Oil Massage

If your package includes it, an oil massage will follow. This part adds to your relaxation and helps with blood circulation.

Rest and Refreshment

After the treatment, you’ll have time to relax in the lounge with tea or water. You can take a shower, dry your hair, and enjoy the peaceful environment before leaving.
