A magnificent hammam. They were carefully and tenderly escorted, washed, and massaged. The feeling of caring is like my mother bought it in childhood. An old hammam. There are places of destruction, it gives a special atmosphere. And when you lie on a marble table and look up at the high sky under a dome with patterned holes in the ceiling, the sensations are not transferable. I booked it through the website. I made an advance payment with a unionpay card via the link through correspondence with the manager. I arrived at the designated time in 15 minutes, everything is clearly organized.

I visited the Cağaloğlu hammam in Istanbul, which is not just a sauna, but a real journey through time. A building with a rich history, incredible architecture and a sense of oriental luxury. The entire space is made in the traditional Ottoman style — marble, domes, soft light, silence and tranquility. The procedure is classic: first, you warm up in a warm room, then there is a scrub, foam massage and complete relaxation. Everything is done professionally, the staff is attentive and unobtrusive. The sheets, towels, everything is clean and smells good. I really liked the atmosphere — it feels like I'm in another era. After the procedure, the skin is smooth, the body is light, and the head is completely cleared of fuss. The prices are above average, but it's worth it. If you want a real Turkish hammam, this is one of the best options in Istanbul. I recommend.

The ancient hammam, built in 1741, allowed us to plunge into the past, gave us the opportunity to feel how the cleansing of the human body and mental state took place many centuries ago. An unforgettable experience was left by staying in this extraordinary place. Before that, we visited the "hammam" in hotels, which does not even remotely convey what we experienced here. Heaven and earth. Plus, each visitor has a personal attendant (ca), because men and puppies steam in different rooms. The sacrament begins with a 15-minute stay in a room (cell) like a Finnish sauna. In order not to get too hot, they give me a bottle of ice water, which was very useful, by the way, I drank periodically and even poured it on my head, because it didn't seem to be hot, but the warming up of the body was serious. Then each woman gets her own attendant, who leads to a huge spacious hall for performing all the necessary procedures. First, he douses with hot water from an iron bowl, as in ancient times, then puts it on the podium, where several women receive procedures at the same time, who also have their own personal bath attendants. Then he rubs with a glove, then massages the whole body with his hands, periodically pouring foam with some unusual aroma of citrus fruits or some other herbs, flowers or fruits. After the massage is over, the bath attendant takes her gently by the arm and escorts her to the washbasin, sits her down on a marble step and washes her hair with shampoo and balsam. Then he gives her towels and accompanies her to the recreation room, where tea, onions and sherbet are already waiting. We ordered the cheapest procedure in this hammam for 90 euros/45 min. It was enough for us to feel younger, as many write, to be born again. And really! In general, it's expensive, but worth it, I recommend it! P.S. It would be right to leave a tip, my family and I put 200 lira in an envelope for each of our bath attendants, which was located in an individual changing room. After we leave, the attendant (ca) comes, cleans up and collects his small fee. I don't know much or little, but that's what we decided.
