Step into Istanbul’s rich past with a Turkish bath experience

Once the favored retreat of Sultans, hammams were bustling communal spaces that captured the essence of Ottoman life. Today, these architectural masterpieces offer everything from time-honored cleansing rituals to indulgent spa-like treatments. Whether you’re looking for some ‘me-time,’ a cultural deep dive, or a blend of both, an Istanbul hammam promises an unforgettable escape.

Things to know before booking Turkish bath experiences

  • Stay near Sultanahmet, a historic neighborhood with iconic hammams like Cemberlitas, Hurrem Sultan, and Cagaloglu, offering a mix of ‘classic’ rituals and luxurious spa treatments, just minutes away from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
  • Pick historic hammams like Cemberlitas and Cagaloglu for an authentic Ottoman experience or opt for modern options like Taksim Hammam and Spa and Sisli Hammam for a spa-like ambiance, complete with personal treatments and sauna facilities.
  • Enjoy traditional Turkish treatments with exfoliation, foam massages, and extras like extended sessions, Turkish tea, and homemade sherbets.
  • All hammams provide essentials like lockers, changing rooms, and pestemals (light cotton towels) to ensure your comfort.
  • Most Turkish hammams, including Cemberlitas and Hurrem Sultan, have separate sections for men and women with gender-matching therapists to ensure privacy.
  • The Acemoglu Historical Hammam is perfect for couples or families, offering mixed-gender sessions to enjoy the experience together without compromising on tradition or comfort.
  • Most traditional hammams, especially the ones housed in historic buildings like Cemberlitas, Hurrem Sultan, and Gedikpasa are not wheelchair accessible. Some recently-renovated bathhouses like Taksim Spa and Sisli Hammam offer accessibility features such as ramps, elevators, and accessible changing rooms.
  • If you are pregnant or have health conditions like heart issues, it’s best to consult with your doctor before visiting a hammam. Hammams are also not ideal for toddlers, with most recommending a minimum age of 12 to ensure comfort and safety.

Best Turkish Baths in Istanbul

Your guide to Turkish baths | Tips, etiquette, and essentials 

  • After the hot room and foam massage session, spend a few minutes in the cooling room to allow your body to adjust. Be sure to drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids from the steam and heat.
  • It is recommended to moisturize your skin thoroughly after a Turkish bath. All hammams offer natural oils or moisturizers. Olive oil and redbud-based products are popular choices.
  • Most Turkish bathhouses provide essentials like towels, non-slip slippers, shampoo, and shower gel. If you prefer, you are welcome to bring your own products.
  • If you are unsure of participating in any aspect of the bathing ritual, make sure to inform your attendants.
  • If you have a few hours on hand, treat yourself to longer spa sessions for the full therapeutic benefits.

Turkish Bath rules and etiquette

Frequently asked questions about Turkish Baths in Istanbul

What are the benefits of a Turkish bath?

Turkish baths are more than just a relaxing experience, they offer a range of health benefits. The steam helps cleanse and detoxify your skin. The gentle scrubbing removes dead skin cells, while the soothing massages ease muscle tension and melt away stress. Many people also enjoy the calming effect of the warm, humid environment. It’s a rejuvenating treat for both your body and mind!

What to wear in a Turkish hammam?

In a Turkish hammam, nudity is accepted, while modesty is the norm. Most visitors opt to wear the pestemal around their body, while some also opt for swimwear.

What to bring to a hammam?

Most hammams provide essentials like towels, slippers, and soap, but you might want to bring a change of clothes, personal toiletries like shampoo and conditioner, and your own hairbrush. It is also a good idea to carry a water bottle to stay hydrated after the experience.

Are there ladies-only hammams in Istanbul?

Popular bathhouses like the Cemberlitas Hammam and Hurrem Sultan Hammam have dedicated sections or specific hours for women to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Which is the best hammam in Istanbul for couples?

If you are looking to share a hammam experience with your partner, the Acemoglu Hammam and Cagaloglu Hammam are great choices. For a more luxurious experience, the Hurrem Sultan Hammam stands out with private rooms and services tailored for couples, perfect for a special occasion.

Does a Turkish bath help you tan?

No, a Turkish bath won’t tan you as it’s an indoor experience. However, the exfoliation smooths and evens your skin, enhancing an existing tan or helping self-tanning products apply more evenly for a radiant finish.

Can you go to a hammam on your period?

Some hammams allow visits during your period if you use hygiene products like tampons or menstrual cups, but many, such as Hurrem Sultan, don’t permit entry.

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.

Great time spent with friends in these Turkish baths. Great welcome, top treatments, massage option worth taking. We were able to do the hammam all together because it was mixed. A real moment of relaxation and great memories.
