What’s Included and How It Works

This two-hour experience begins with hotel pickup, so you don’t have to worry about logistics— just relax and wait at your accommodation’s outdoor security area about 10 minutes early. The tour includes transportation, access to a traditional Turkish bath, a 20-minute aroma massage, and use of the sauna and steam room. After your treatments, you’ll enjoy a face mask, peeling, foam massage, and a complimentary tea. Additional massages or treatments can be purchased but are optional.

The Turkish Bath Experience: A Step Back in Time

Once at the bath house, you’ll encounter a large marble steam room with high ceilings— the signature feature of Turkish baths. The central circular platform, or göbek taşı, is where the magic happens. It’s the perfect spot for lying back and soaking up the heat while the massage and scrub specialists work their magic.

The process involves a vigorous scrub using a coarse fabric (called a kese) to slough off dead skin. As one guest review noted, “They rub the dead skin off with a fabric that reveals dark layers of dirt and old skin— a surprisingly satisfying and cleansing process.” The marble surface gets warm and inviting, often accompanied by the soothing sounds of water and gentle steam.

Professional Massages and Treatments

The included 20-minute aroma massage is a highlight for many guests. The therapists are described as professional, attentive, and eager to customize your treatment. Some reviewers mentioned that the staff might try to upsell more expensive massage packages; while this can feel a bit pushy, it’s worth knowing you can decline politely.

In addition, a face mask and foam massage help to detoxify and refresh your skin. These treatments add to the feeling of being thoroughly pampered. The reviews suggest that the quality of the massage and scrubbing is quite high, with many guests saying they left feeling energized and deeply relaxed.
