About this program
The Classic Hammam Ritual is the place to begin. After the sauna and the warm marble you are scrubbed with a kese mitt and washed in foam, then you rest with tea and a sweet. Because the room is yours, the whole hour is spent with your own group only. It fits neatly between two sightseeing stops in Istanbul, and it is the program most families choose when children are coming along.
Who it suits
First-timers, short stays and anyone who wants the classic experience without a massage.

Is the room really private? Can couples bathe together?
Yes on both counts. Each booking has a room that nobody else uses, and couples bathe together there. You will not share the hall with other guests.
Is the hotel pick-up really free?
Yes. We collect you and bring you back at no extra charge. Add your hotel and room number to the form and we confirm the pick-up time on WhatsApp.
Do I pay online?
No. Booking on this website costs nothing. You pay at the hammam once your ritual is over, and we never take a deposit online.
Can we come as a whole family, with children?
Yes, families are welcome in a private room. Tell us how many people are coming and how old the children are, and we prepare the room and set the temperature for everyone.
How does the 15% online discount work?
Reserve through this website and the reduced online prices apply to the first four programs. The price you see is the price you pay at the hammam.
