Travel Tip: Hamam in Cemberlitas, Istanbul

anabel@travelagencytribes.com (traveltemplates) — Tue, 15 Nov 11 17:53:18 +0000

Cemberlitas is a historical Turkish bath, a mystical and authentic cultural experience. The Hamam is perfect for relaxing while visiting Istanbul.

Said to be built by the great architect Sinan himself, Cemberlitas is an architectural wonder, with beautiful lighting and a captivating atmosphere. Despite being a 16th century public bath, it is known as one of the cleanest in the city.

The friendly receptionists speak English and are knowledgable about the facility. Many of the attendants speak English too, but not all.

Buy your package (basic for 46 YTL = about $35USD). On the first floor are lockers, and one’s own changing and relaxing room. Included in admission is a towel, loincloth, scrubbing, soaping, washing, and massage. Also available are aromatherapy oil massages, indian head massages and a facial clay mask.

Get undressed in the “cold” area, wrapping your body in one of the cotton towels and pass through the “warm” area to the “hot” area, the Haman’s center. Time is unlimited for the self-service portion.

Sit by one of the marble basins and pour warm water over your hair and body. Lie down on the hot stone in the middle of the room and get a vigorous massage.

If you enjoyed the experience, you may tip, but you are not required to do so.
Hours: Open daily from 6am-midnight.  Reservations not required. MasterCard and Visa accepted.
Address: Vezirhan Caddesi No. 8; Tram: Cemberlitas (T1)
