Our Local Experts say:

Turkey has a strong bathing culture, as is evident by the vast number of centuries-old Turkish baths -'hamams'- scattered around Istanbul and the rest of the country, many of which are still in use today.

Going to a hamam is an experience, and many historical rituals should be followed. The use of the pestemal, Turkish towels and kese (exfoliator) as well as quality soaps are all part of going to a hamam. Hamam accessories such as these can be found in specialist stores in Istanbul, and make for the perfect gift or treat for yourself.
