If you are staying in Sultanahmet and want a hammam on the Karaköy side of the Golden Horn, this is one to consider. Ottoman Palace Turkish Bath sits on Yüksek Kaldırım Street, in the Galata part of Beyoğlu. It lists nine programmes in euros. A 60-minute traditional bath costs 50 €, and the longest package for two, at 95 minutes, costs 170 €. Its facilities include a sauna, a steam room, a couples' room, scrub-and-foam treatments and massage. Google shows 4.9 from 347 reviews. The opening hours and the gender-separation arrangements are unclear, so check both before you go.

Your first visit here

The basic programme is the traditional hammam (60 minutes). Scrub-and-foam treatment is likely part of the hammam programmes, but the full contents of the packages are not stated, so ask what each one includes. A relaxation area with tea and coffee is mentioned. Whether men and women bathe separately, whether you must book, and whether there is a pool are not specified, so ask.

Fitting it into an Old City day

From Sultanahmet, the T1 tram toward Kabataş reaches Karaköy in four stops (Gülhane, Sirkeci, Eminönü, Karaköy). That makes this a natural stop after a morning at the mosques and museums, with Galata on the same side. Google lists 10:00–03:00 daily and the website gives other hours, so for an evening visit confirm that it is open. A 60 to 120-minute programme fits between sightseeing and dinner.

Worth knowing first

  • The website's hours (11:00–22:00) differ from Google's (10:00–03:00), so the real hours are uncertain.
