Gedikpasa Historical Turkish Bath Experience in Istanbul

This was such a fun activity to do in Istanbul! After so many hours on a flight this was perfect to relax. It started with laying on a hot marble slab - ahhhh, perfection! Then, each member of our party had a different attendant who performed the bath. It is not for the modest! There was a body scrub that left our skin soft for at least 2-3 days. A full body massage and some Turkish tea rounded out the experience. Absolutely would go again and recommend to all!

We wanted an authentic feel Hammam and we got it here. Traditional decor, very clean and tidy, we went for the basic package which was enough to experience the Turkish Baths. We were taken into the ‘women’s’ area and provided with a towel and flip flops (we wore swimsuits - some women didn’t!) You have your own lockable changing room. We were taken into a marble room with hot marble slabs - 15mins there to lie down and relax. Then into a smaller room where we were doused with warm water, scrubbed (exfoliated) and then the full body foam massage. Which was amazing - our masseuses were called Muklu and Turkan (they were lovely and very good). Would thoroughly recommend.

Enjoyed a unique, most relaxing and enjoyable hamman experience here. This was my first time at a hamman. Bahariye, my attendant, was a kind, smiling, attentive lady who made me feel comfortable and soo relaxed. The foam massage was the best part! The hammam is a historic and beautifully maintained, clean facility. Professional and with excellent service. My husband, who normally never goes for any spa treatments, also really enjoyed it. We highly recommend this place!

I am obsessed with hamams and I can tell you that Gedikpasa historical spa is spectacular. The attendants give such personal, kind attention that you are left feeling very VIP. Bahtiye took care of me and she was so very attentive and good at what she does that I could have easily stayed the entire day. Authentic (the oldest hammam in Istanbul per the plaque) and simply lovely- don’t miss out on this special experience.

Highly recommend. We did not know what to expect and so happy we did this. The experience is unlike any spa we had been to and a must do at least once in your life.
