Best Spas and Hamams in Yenikapi
Yenikapi sits on the Marmara shore of the historic peninsula, where the Byzantine Harbour of Theodosius once lay. The area is known for the shipwrecks uncovered during the Marmaray excavations. Spa options here are fewer than in Sultanahmet, and our guide lists Valens Spa & Hamam in the district. Its real strength is transport, since Marmaray and the metro lines meet here. It suits visitors who want a traditional hamam experience with easy connections across the city.
