If you are staying in Sultanahmet and have never been to a hammam, this is one of the options on Küçük Ayasofya Street, in the Kadırga area near the Sultanahmet Mosque. It is rated 4.8 on Google from 1,297 reviews. The basic ritual includes sauna, steam room, scrub and foam massage and takes 60 minutes. Longer packages add a massage, reflexology or a clay mask. It is open every day from 10:00 to 23:30, but you cannot just walk in: booking ahead is required.

Your first time here

The classic hammam (49 EUR, 60 minutes) covers sauna, steam, scrub and foam massage. Packages at 79, 89 and 125 EUR run 90 to 150 minutes and add massage, reflexology and masks. There is a private room for couples and there are women-only sessions. How the men's and women's sections are laid out, whether there is a pool, and the building's history are not stated, so ask when you book. A free hotel transfer is mentioned for some central districts.

Fitting it into your Old City day

The hammam is in Küçük Ayasofya, near Kadırga and the Sultanahmet Mosque. If you come by tram, the T1 Sultanahmet stop is the nearest one on the list, and Çemberlitaş is the other option. Since it is open from 10:00 to 23:30 every day, you can go in the late afternoon once the mosques and museums have closed, or in the evening. Allow 60 to 150 minutes depending on the package.
