- Emin Sinan Hamamı Sk. No:61 - Gedikpasa Hamami, Istanbul’s oldest and one of the largest hammams, shares a 550-year-old legacy, where history and tradition merge for an enriching experience, right in the heart of the old city.
The hamam ritual at Gedikpasa Historical Turkish Bath goes beyond simple hygiene, offering a transformative journey in gender-separated sections, conducted by same-gender therapists. It begins in a warm chamber, where guests acclimate before undergoing a thorough exfoliation with a kessa glove.
This is followed by a steam bath that opens the pores, encouraging relaxation. A fragrant, full-body wash follows, often paired with a calming massage. The ritual concludes with a cooling phase, allowing the body to stabilize, often accompanied by refreshments.
More than just a cleansing practice, the hamam acts as a communal sanctuary, fostering social connections and embodying a holistic approach to wellness in a traditional manner, in separate men and women sections, with services provided by same-gender therapists.
