Hollywood Stars Also Love Turkish Baths

In Istanbul, experiencing an authentic Hammam (Turkish bath) feels like traveling back to the golden era of the Ottoman Empire.

The price range of different bathhouses varies greatly—from affordable local establishments to century-old luxurious baths frequented by celebrities, each with its own unique charm. Stepping into the warm stone chamber, you're enveloped by ancient, aromatic steam. Your body gradually relaxes on the marble slab, followed by the masterful scrubbing by a local uncle or auntie—unyielding yet surprisingly therapeutic.

Covered in bubbles, embraced by heat, and then awakened by a sudden splash of cold water, all your fatigue vanishes through this ancient ritual. Upon leaving, you might feel as though even your soul has been polished anew.
