Overview
This is a traditional Turkish hammam ritual in a historic Istanbul bathhouse, sold as a standalone add-on rather than part of a fixed multi-day package - book it alongside any other TourQuaz itinerary, or on its own if you just want a few hours to unwind between sightseeing days. You'll be welcomed into a centuries-old, marble-domed hammam and guided through the full ritual from steam to massage.
The steam & scrub: You'll change into a peştemal (traditional wrap) and relax on the heated marble platform (göbek taşı) until you're warm through, then an attendant gives you a full-body exfoliation with a traditional kese glove.
The wash & massage: A warm foam wash follows, then a 30-minute traditional oil massage to work out any travel tension.
The rest: Finish with herbal tea in the relaxation lounge before heading back out, refreshed - the rest of your day is still ahead of you.

Guest Reviews
Sophie L. - 10 March, 2026
"A perfect way to unwind after three days of walking around the old city. The scrub was intense but the massage after made up for it completely - left feeling brand new."
James R. - 22 January, 2026
"Booked this as a one-off since we weren't doing a full TourQuaz package, and it was still handled just as smoothly. The hammam itself is beautiful - all marble and domed ceilings."
