Tarihi Çeşme Hamamı 1720 sits in Karaköy, on the Galata side of the Golden Horn, and is one of the few hamams in this guide outside the old peninsula. Google shows 4.9 from 2,271 reviews. According to its website, the building dates to 1720 and was renovated about seven years ago with its original architecture kept. The core service is the traditional scrub and foam wash, which can be booked for one person, a couple or a group of up to 8. The whole hamam can also be reserved for occasions such as a bride's hamam. Afterwards there is a rest area with refreshments. Reservations are required, and prices and session lengths are not on the pages we could check.

Your first time here

The core service is the scrub-and-foam wash (kese-köpük), with massage also listed among the features. Booking in advance is required, so don't plan on walking in. Afterwards you can rest and have refreshments. Separate men's and women's sections, private rooms, pool, sauna and steam room are not stated, so ask when you book.

Fitting it into an Old City day

Karaköy is across the Galata Bridge from Sultanahmet. By T1 tram it is four stops: Gülhane, Sirkeci, Eminönü, then Karaköy. The hamam is open daily from 08:00 to midnight, so you can go in the morning before the crowds or in the evening after the mosques and museums. Galata and Beyoğlu are right nearby if you want to combine it with the other side of the Golden Horn.

What works well

  • Original 1720 building, renovated with its architecture preserved
  • Open every day, 08:00 to midnight, so it works after a full day of sightseeing
  • Flexible group sizes: individuals, couples, up to 8 people, or the entire hamam for special occasions
