Turkish Bath

Your Turkish bath will be at the famous Çemberlitas Hammam in the heart of old Istanbul. This sumptuous hamam is one of the best you will find … so you can be assured of a wonderful experience in expert hands. If you have never had a Turkish bath before it is a real treat … and for those who have had one, you are sure to want to indulge in another! You first enter into the warm room where you sit, chat, douse yourself with warm water drawn and put in to ornate copper bowls and your begin to perspire. This action opens your pores and gets your skin ready for the massage to begin. You lie on a warm marble slab and your attendant gives you an exfoliating scrub prior to a wash with soap suds. After this massage you are then rinsed down, again with warm water, before relaxing. A Turkish bath is the ideal way to refresh your skin, and proves an ideal way to prepare your body for getting an enviable suntan
