Before arrival
The traditional Turkish bath experience typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. Visitors should still allow extra time before and after the session for arrival, check-in, changing and cooling down. Do not schedule another timed activity immediately after the hammam if you want a relaxed experience.
Check-in
Inside a Turkish hammam, visitors usually spend time in a warm and steamy environment before the cleansing part of the ritual.

Massage should only be expected if the selected product details list it clearly.
The experience
Etiquette matters in a hammam. Follow staff instructions, speak quietly, respect separate sections and check clothing rules before arrival. Pestemal, towel, slippers, locker and swimwear policy should be checked in the final product details so visitors know what is provided and what to bring.
