What to expect

Gedikpasa Hamami, Istanbul's oldest and one of the largest hammams, tells a 550-year-old story , where history and ritual combine for more than just a cleansing experience , at the heart of old city.

The hamam ritual in Gedikpasa Historical Turkish Bath , transcends mere hygiene, offering a transformative experience in gender seperated sections, acted by same-gender therapists . It commences in a warm chamber, where participants acclimate before engaging in a thorough exfoliation with a kessa glove.

This is followed by a steam bath that opens the pores, promoting relaxation. A fragrant, full-body wash ensues, often accompanied by a soothing massage. The ritual culminates with a cooling phase, allowing the body to stabilize, often accompanied by refreshments.

More than a cleansing practice, the hamam serves as a communal haven, fostering social bonds and embodying a holistic approach to wellness in a traditional way , in seperate men and women sections , with same-gender therapists' service .
