Istanbul Turkish Bath is a special kind of originally Turkish baths where all the inhabitants of the country have been bathing since the 7th century. While Europe was literally drowning in mud and even there was not enough drinking water, a whole system of water supply and public baths had already been built here, where you could not only take a bath and wash away dirt, but also get an amazing boost of energy and vitality throughout the day. According to legends, Hamam perfectly heals the soul and body, helps in the fight against stress and nervous tension, and perfectly regenerates and regulates the sleep-wake cycle.

Either the Turkish bath has two sections, one for each gender, or it admits men and women at different times of the day. Men usually strip completely and wear nothing under the bathrobe. …Women, on the other hand, mostly wear their underwear (but often not their bra) under the bath cover.
Attendants usually provide visitors with a peshtemal, a thin cotton cloth for wrapping, and a regular towel for bathing. It is ok to bring swimsuit or bikinis. However, as few others – and not Turks – will wear anything, it is not recommended for the real experience.
