Turkish Baths or 'hammams' as they are named are for many aspects of health, not just for external cleanliness. Before Turkey was established as a separate country, the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and nomadic people of the region had their own variations of bathing rituals. These traditions combined, created a different variation of these ancient bathing habits, The Turkish Bath (Turkish Hamam). The bather enters the dry heat of a sweating area. Afterward, the bather begins to perspire heavily because of wet steam. The skin is then washed with soap and warm water and the muscles massaged. After being scoured and washed, the bather's body temperature returns to normal. You will be taken to one of the best hammams to experience this way of life and enjoy this tradition so well established in Turkey.
