Kadıköy sits on the Asian shore, across the Bosphorus from the historic peninsula, so it is not a Sultanahmet-style old-city hamam district. Its listings are mostly modern: massage studios, spa and sauna rooms, some hotel-based Turkish baths and a few hamams. Our guide lists 27 places here, including Ak Sauna Spa, E Spa Wellness at Holiday Inn Kadıköy and Foot Therapy Kadıköy. For a visitor, the appeal is a different side of the city. You cross by ferry, spend time in a lively market-and-café neighbourhood, then book a session that fits your plans. If you want the classic Ottoman bath experience with domed halls and a heated marble stone, the peninsula is still the place for that. Kadıköy suits those who are staying on this side or want a quieter, less touristy session. Neighbouring areas such as Göztepe, Bağdat Caddesi, Altunizade, İçerenköy, Küçükbakkalköy and Üsküdar have listings too. Prices change often, so check each venue's page, where they are written with a date.

If you are staying around Sultanahmet, Ak Sauna Spa is a cross-water outing: it is in Hasanpaşa, Kadıköy, on the Asian side. The place combines a Turkish hamam and a Finnish sauna with a steam room, and its menu lists ten services, mostly different massage styles. Google shows 4.9 from 564 reviews. It opens at 11:00 on weekdays and 10:00 on weekends, and closes at 23:30 every day, which suits an evening after a full day of sights. Prices, reservation rules and whether men and women have separate sections are not stated, so ask before you go.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, treat Hamam Ataşehir as a separate trip: it sits in Ataşehir, listed under Kadıköy, on the Asian side. The listing shows a men's section only, and it doesn't say whether a women's section exists. Entry is 650 TL for a 150-minute session, with a steam room, pool and jacuzzi alongside the hamam. Scrub, foam massage and oil massage are separate add-ons. It opens every day from 07:00 to 23:45, and Google rates it 4.3 from 695 reviews.
For a first-time visitor based in Sultanahmet, this is not a hammam or a spa but a massage practice with an office in Kozyatağı, on the Asian side. The therapist, Zafer Aydın, trained in physical education at Marmara University and works mainly in sports and medical massage. Besides the office, he visits homes in Kadıköy, Kozyatağı and İçerenköy. The menu covers lymphatic drainage, Swedish, shiatsu, hot stone and sports massage, and Google shows 4.7 from 110 reviews. Appointments go through a form on the website, and your hotel's district is not among the listed home-visit areas.
If your days around Sultanahmet are packed with museums and mosques, Foot Therapy is a massage-only option on the Kadıköy side, on Serasker Caddesi in the Osmanağa quarter. It is not a hamam, and the information I have says nothing about a sauna or steam room. The menu is long: foot reflexology, Swedish, Thai, oil Thai, Bali, sports, deep tissue, aromatherapy and regional massage, plus face, hand and head massage and a classic facial. Google shows 4.9 from 1,389 reviews. The doors are open 10:30 to 22:00 every day, but you must reserve first, and prices are not published on the website. A second branch operates in Galata.
If your days are spent around Sultanahmet, note first that E Spa Wellness is not in the Old City. It is inside the Holiday Inn in Kadıköy, on the other side of the Bosphorus. The spa is a hammam with a massage menu: a traditional Turkish bath, plus Swedish, medical, anti-stress, Bali and deep tissue massages. It is open daily from 10:00 to 23:00, and Google lists it at 4.9 from 1,156 reviews. Prices are not published, and whether men and women are separated is not stated.
If your days are spent among mosques and museums, this is a place for a different kind of break: a massage and therapy studio on the fourth floor of an apartment building on Bağdat Caddesi, in Feneryolu on the Asian side. It is not a hamam, and no bath or sauna section is listed. The range is wide, covering classic, deep tissue, shiatsu, aromatherapy and hot stone massage, manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, acupressure and cranio-sacral therapy, with skin care (peeling) alongside. Doors are open daily from 10:00 to 20:30. Google gives it 4.9 from 342 reviews, but the site lists no prices or session lengths.
If your days in Sultanahmet are full of mosques and museums, this is a different kind of stop: a massage-focused day spa on the Asian side, in Kadıköy's Erenköy area. It is independent, not part of a hotel, and has private treatment rooms plus couples' rooms. The menu is mostly massage (Swedish, Thai, shiatsu, hot stone and others) with facial skin care as the one non-massage item. Google shows 4.6 from 323 reviews. It is closed on Tuesdays, and you must reserve before you go. Prices and treatment lengths are not published on its website.
Çikolata Spa & Masaj Salonu is a massage-only address on the Asian side, in Fenerbahçe, Kadıköy, so it is a ferry or Marmaray hop away from Sultanahmet rather than a walk. The salon is on the second floor of an office building (Katrancıoğlu İş Hanı, Çuha Çiçeği Sok.), not in a hotel or a historic bathhouse. Doors are open daily from 11:00 until midnight, which suits an evening after a day of sightseeing. Google shows 4.7 from 152 reviews. The list of treatments is long, from classic and Thai to foam and candle massage, and couples have their own room, but no prices or session lengths are published.
If your days are spent around Sultanahmet's museums and mosques, note that Pera Spa Center is not in that part of town. It is an independent bathhouse on Fahrettin Kerim Gökay Street in Göztepe, Kadıköy, and it is not part of a hotel. The menu covers the traditional Turkish bath with scrub and foam, plus massage in several styles, including Lomi Lomi Nui and medical massage. The place has two separate hammams, and Google lists 4.7 from 241 reviews. It is listed as open every day from 12:00 to 23:30, which suits an evening visit, though the website gives different hours.
If your hotel is in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the Kadıköy side, not a walk from the mosques. The address is Sarraf Ali Sokak 9-13 in Caferağa, close to Moda. Google lists 4.8 from 1,073 reviews. Doors are open 10:30 to 22:00 every day of the week, so a late visit after sightseeing is realistic. What the place actually offers, what it costs and whether you need to book are not stated in our data, so ask before you set out.
Kalissa sits in Fenerbahçe, a residential stretch of Kadıköy, so it is a separate trip from a Sultanahmet itinerary rather than a stop along it. It is an independent salon with no hotel attached, and its listed work covers skin care, hair removal, slimming treatments for specific body areas and massage. Google shows a 5.0 rating from 100 reviews. Opening hours run 10:00–20:00 on weekdays and 10:00–19:00 on Saturday, and Sunday is closed. Prices, treatment durations and whether there are separate women's and men's sections are not stated, so ask before you go.
If your days are packed with mosques and museums, this is a foot-and-body massage stop that needs a deliberate trip across to Kadıköy. Foot Reflex Thai Therapy is an independent studio on Halitağa Caddesi, with one branch and no hotel behind it. People there have been doing reflexology, Thai massage and classic massage for 15 years. Google shows 4.8 from 447 reviews. You need to book ahead by phone or WhatsApp, and Monday is the day off. This is not a hamam, and prices and session lengths are not published.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the other side of the city rather than a stop on your sightseeing loop. Medpluskos TR. A. is a wellness centre on Bağdat Caddesi in Fenerbahçe, Kadıköy, rated 5.0 on Google by more than 300 reviewers. It opens Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 19:00 and is closed on Sundays. There is no website, so the treatments, durations, prices and whether it has a hamam are all unconfirmed. Treat it as a place to phone or message first, not one to turn up at on a hunch.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet and counting on a spa visit, note that PT Academy is not one: it is a sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic on the Asian side, in Caddebostan, Kadıköy. Its work is injury analysis, manual therapy and medical exercise therapy for athletes and active people. It lists no hammam, massage or spa treatments. Hours are 09:00–20:00 on weekdays and 09:00–14:00 on Saturday, with Sunday closed. Google shows 4.8 from 170 reviews, but that rating reflects clinical care, not a spa experience.
Holiday Inn Istanbul - Kadikoy is a hotel on Poyraz Sk. in Hasanpaşa, on the Asian side of the city, so it is not a spot you would stumble on while sightseeing in Sultanahmet. The listing says its spa is part of the hotel, and the place is marked as open 24 hours every day. Google shows 4.4 stars from 2,619 reviews, which says more about the hotel as a whole than about the spa. What the spa offers, whether there is a hammam, and what anything costs could not be confirmed. If you are curious, ask the hotel directly before planning a trip around it.
If your days in Sultanahmet are packed with mosques and museums, this is the option on the other continent: a spa in the DoubleTree by Hilton Moda hotel, on Albay Faik Sözdener Street in Kadıköy. Its hours are the same all week, 07:00 to 23:00. Rooms, pools, saunas and a hamam are not described in the information we have, and neither are treatments or prices. The only quality signal is a Google score of 4.7 from about 220 reviews. Treat it as a half-day outing to the Asian side, not a quick stop between two sights.
Sultanahmet visitors should know up front that this is not a hammam or a spa with pools. MET Güzellik & Medikal Masaj is a massage and beauty studio in an office building (Şahinler İş Merkezi) in Bulgurlu, on the Asian side. The Google listing shows 4.7 from 201 reviews. It is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00–20:00, and closed on Sunday. The website could not be reached, so the service list, durations, prices and booking rules are all unconfirmed. Treat it as a separate trip across the water, not a stop between museums.
If your hotel is in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across the water rather than a stop on the way: Eylül Beauty & Wellness is in Fenerbahçe, Kadıköy, on the Asian side. It is a massage studio on the third floor of an apartment building on Bağdat Caddesi. Google shows 4.8 from 77 reviews, but the content of those reviews could not be read. Doors are open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 19:30 and shut on Sundays. The only online presence is an Instagram account, so the treatment menu, prices and booking rules are unknown.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, Fit216 is a half-day trip away, not a neighbourhood stop. It sits in Kadıköy, inside a 5,000 m² sports club, and the spa side offers indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and massage. Google shows 4.5 from 527 reviews. Nothing says it has a hammam or steam room, so do not book it expecting a traditional bath ritual. Treatments and prices are not published, which means a phone or WhatsApp enquiry comes first.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this one needs a plan: it is a hotel spa in Göztepe, Kadıköy, on the Asian side, not a hamam in the Old City. Massage is the only service confirmed, offered under the name Pera Spa Center between 12:00 and 19:00. The hotel's website gives no treatment list or prices, and it does not say whether there is a steam room, sauna or pool. Google shows 4.5 from 1,495 reviews. Call +90 505 251 19 70 before you go, since opening hours are the only detail we have.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet and looking for a hammam or spa, this is not it. Super Slow Zone is an exercise studio that uses a low-force, high-intensity muscle-strengthening method approved by IACET. It sits on Bağdat Avenue in Göztepe, on the Kadıköy side, a long way from the Old City sights. A session takes 20–25 minutes and is by appointment only, and the website offers a free trial appointment. Google shows 4.7 from 53 reviews. Prices are not published on the site.
If your days are spent around Sultanahmet, this spa is a long way from your route: it belongs to the Hilton Istanbul Kozyatağı, a hotel in the Kozyatağı part of Kadıköy on the Asian side. Google shows a 4.3 rating from 7,971 reviews, though that figure covers the whole hotel rather than the spa alone. What the spa actually contains (pool, sauna, steam room, hamam) could not be verified. Whether people who are not staying at the hotel can use it, what the opening hours are, and what anything costs are also unknown. It makes sense mainly if you are already a guest there; otherwise ask the hotel before building a plan around it.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the Asian side rather than a short walk: the spa belongs to the DoubleTree by Hilton Istanbul - Moda hotel on Albay Faik Sözdener Caddesi in Kadıköy's Caferağa area. Google shows 4.3 from about 5,900 reviews, though that score is for the hotel as a whole and not only the spa. What the spa contains is not stated in the information we have: no treatment menu, no prices, no opening hours, and no confirmation of a pool, sauna, steam room or hamam. Whether men and women have separate sections and whether you must book are also unknown. Treat it as a hotel wellness area to enquire about, not as a traditional hamam experience.
Massage Miranda sits on Kuşdili Street in Kadıköy's Osmanağa quarter, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, so it is a ferry or Marmaray trip away from the Old City rather than a short walk. Google shows it open around the clock every day, and 148 reviewers give it 4.5. Beyond that, the picture is thin: the website did not open, so the treatments, session lengths and prices are not known. The name of the web domain hints at Thai massage, but that is a guess from the address alone. If you are considering it, ask about services and booking before you cross over.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this entry asks for a detour: the Kadıköy Municipality Ecological Life Centre sits in Kadıköy's Eğitim district, on the Asian side, at Hakkıbey Sok. No:8/1. It is run by the municipality and listed as a wellness venue. Nothing confirms whether it offers a hamam, a spa or something else entirely. Without a website, its services, hours and prices are unknown. Google rates it 4.8 from 60 reviews, which is a good sign but says little about what is on offer.
Este Spa is a day spa in Suadiye, on the Asian side of Istanbul, a short walk from the shopping street Bağdat Caddesi. If you are staying in Sultanahmet, treat it as a trip of its own: nothing in the Old City routes leads here directly. Doors are open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 21:00 and on Sundays from 11:00 to 21:00; Mondays it is closed. Google shows 4.4 stars from 59 reviews. There is no website, so the treatments, prices and any women/men sections are not published anywhere we could check.
If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the Asian side: Miramar Day Spa is an independent day spa at the entrance of a residential complex in Erenköy, Kadıköy. It does not appear to belong to a hotel, though that is inferred from the address and the spa has not confirmed it. Doors open at 10:00 from Tuesday to Saturday and at 11:00 on Sunday, and it closes at 19:00 every day it is open. Monday is closed. It has a Google rating of 4.3 from 95 reviews, but no website, so what it offers and what it charges is unknown until you ask.
Massage studios in Kadikoy
17 venues on this list offer massage; some are massage-only, others combine it with a hamam. Durations and prices are listed with their date on each venue page.
From the historic peninsula, the simplest route is the ferry from Eminönü to Kadıköy. Eminönü is a stop on the T1 tram, which runs through Sultanahmet, Gülhane and Sirkeci. Another option is Marmaray from Sirkeci or Yenikapı to the Asian side; it stops at Üsküdar, Ayrılık Çeşmesi and Söğütlüçeşme. From Ayrılık Çeşmesi you can change to the M4 metro towards Kadıköy. The M4 runs between Kadıköy and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) and calls at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, Göztepe and Bostancı. From SAW, the Havabüs also goes to Kadıköy. From Istanbul Airport (IST), the usual route is the Havaist to Aksaray, Beyazıt or Sultanahmet, then a ferry or Marmaray across.
