Review of Istanbul’s Old City hammam with sauna, kese scrub, foam wash, massage, and public, private, or VIP options.

“Such a great experience!! only thing I regret is not booking a longer massage session. Heads up for women that want to use the sauna and steam room without running into any men, book the earliest session on a weekday when they are not as busy.
