What happens in a Turkish bath
You start in the heat of the marble room, which warms you up and softens the skin. Then the therapist scrubs your whole body with a kese, a coarse mitt, and you can see the dead skin come off. A soap wash follows, often with a foam massage on the warm marble. Depending on the treatment it takes from 45 to 120 minutes.
First time in a hammam? Start with the oriental peeling (kese): 45 minutes for €40, the base of every hammam visit. For the full experience, special hammam care adds a soap massage with fresh flowers, a hair wash and a head massage for €56.
Hammam menu and prices

Good to start with
Oriental peeling (kese)
€40
45 min
The classic Turkish scrub. After a warm-up in the hammam, the therapist scrubs your whole body with a special glove. It opens and cleans the pores and leaves the skin smooth, which also helps a tan last longer. Ends with a 20-minute soap wash.
Chocolate massage
€48
45 min
A relaxing massage with chocolate on the warm marble of the hammam.
Special hammam care
€56
60 min
Turkish tradition with a Far Eastern touch. After a warm-up you lie on the marble platform for a scrub with a silk glove, gentle cleaning of the feet and elbows with a rubbing stone, a 20-minute soap massage with fresh flowers, a hair wash with a short head massage, and a relaxing drink.
Sultan massage, two therapists
€86
60 min
Two therapists massage you in the Turkish bath with mud, seaweed or chocolate, your choice. The heat of the hammam warms the skin, and the mud also acts as a peeling. A hair mask is included.
“The Secret of Hurrem Sultan”
€96
120 min
The longest ritual on the menu: an oriental scrub in the hammam, a body mask with green mud from Pamukkale, an argan oil hair mask, a 10-minute head massage, a milk bath and foot reflexology, then a relaxing massage with a special golden oil.
Children's chocolate massage “Milky Way”
€30
30 min
A gentle, playful chocolate massage for children up to 5 years old, so little ones can share the hammam visit too.
