Highlights
  • Çukurcuma Hamamı - Explore the Cukurcuma Hammam in the heart of Istanbul for a unique blend of tradition and inclusivity. This 18th-century traditional bathhouse, while echoing the grandeur of Ottoman spa culture, offers a modern twist with its mixed-gender environment, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a shared wellness experience.

Unlike the segregated spaces found in traditional hammams, Cukurcuma Hammam’s unified area encourages a communal experience, allowing men and women to enjoy the healing practices together.

The journey within this historic setting begins in a warm room, softly lit by natural light, preparing guests for the revitalizing heat of the hot room. Here, on the central marble stone, or ‘gobektasi,’ visitors bask in the therapeutic steam, followed by expertly administered traditional scrubs and massages.

Concluding the experience, guests are invited to unwind in the cool room, savoring Turkish tea or sherbet, encapsulating the essence of Turkish hospitality. Situated near the vibrant Taksim Square, Cukurcuma Hammam is not just a spa but a gateway to exploring the rich tapestry of Istanbul’s Old City.
