Sometimes a boor is just a boor. No frills, everything is minimal, but quite authentic..
Pros: cheap compared to tourist spots, a historical place, interesting architecture, albeit with bare walls (without mosaics at all), heated with firewood.
The Turkish bath attendant sings very beautifully, the acoustics enhance her beautiful voice. It turns out very atmospheric!
Cons: the appearance of the bath attendants is rather casual, even poorly dressed, but friendly. One scrub washcloth for everyone. They didn't offer tea
Full service costs 1,140 liras (approx. 2,200 r), oil massage costs another 300 (approx. 600 r) liras (May 2025).
To get acquainted with the local culture, you can go.
An interesting place. Authentic. The cost for February 2025 is 1,140 liras (lower than in tourist places). You can stay without any time limit. It is heated with firewood. Changing booths with transparent glass. Towels and rubber slippers are provided. We took our slippers from the point of view of hygiene standards. Services in the women's room (scrub and massage) are quite formal: not for long at all. Perhaps because there were quite a lot of people - about 15 people in the entire hammam. Scrub with one washcloth for everyone. During the scan, the auntie master sang in Turkish. Tea was not given at the end. While the men were given😅. There were fewer people in the men's room, and the two bath attendants were able to pay much more attention to their clients than the women in the women's room received from their bath attendants. We made this conclusion after completing the procedures.
It's a nice, not pretentious place. My husband is a fan of baths. He visits similar places in every country. I was skeptical about the boors. But he returned satisfied. Like it. It's all clear. The towels are clean. The hammam is mostly for locals, but it is historical. The price tag is 1200 liras for about a wash, scrub and foam. Scrubbed clean. We went to the airport right before we left. It was the right decision. Rested and clean))
