The
place
is
located
beside
a
mosque
and
I
had
mistaken
it
as
part
of
the
mosque
compound.
After
passing
through
the
door,
my
friend
and
I
were
guided
to
sit
at
the
waiting
area
where
we
were
served
a
welcome
drink
Sherbet
(it
is
a
very
very
refreshing
and
fruity,
I
love
it)
and
given
our
slippers
and
locker
keys.
You
can
wear
your
own
bikini
or
they
can
provide
you
disposable
panties
where
you
change
out
and
put
your
personal
belongings
in
the
locker
room
which
is
a
level
up.
There
is
no
proper
changing
room,
everyone
just
change
in
the
locker
room
area
a
little
like
gym
style.
We
then
wrapped
ourselves
with
a
cloth
provided
in
the
locker
and
proceeded
back
down
to
level
1
where
we
were
directed
into
the
hammam
area
where
the
whole
process
took
place.
ASIANS
NOTE:
The
Turkish
Hammam
/
Bath
is
a
unique
and
interesting
experience.
Wanted
to
couple
it
with
a
massage
but
they
were
fully
booked.
This
is
a
public
bath
which
means
everyone
sees
everyone
naked
except
for
the
disposable
undies.
While
it
is
perhaps
a
common
sight
by
most
westerners
and
perhaps
asian
countries
with
hotsprings,
it
was
an
awkward
and
uncomfortable
experience
for
me
and
my
friend
to
see
each
other
and
many
others
naked.
Basically
a
professional
would
scrub
us
from
head
to
toe
and
wash
us
with
a
bubble
bath.
First,
we
were
rinsed
with
a
splash
of
water
from
head
to
toe.
Then
we
were
guided
to
the
big
marble
slab
in
the
middle
of
the
compound,
where
we
laid
on
to
warm
up
and
prepare
the
body
for
15
mins.
Surrounding
the
marble
slab
are
the
many
'bathing
stations'
where
the
scrubbing
and
bathing
take
place.
This
means
that
while
we
lie
on
the
mable
slab,
everyone
could
view
us
like
an
art
display
which
felt
a
little
awkard
and
intimidating
in
our
culture.
We
were
then
moved
to
one
of
the
'bathing
stations'
(where
we
could
view
those
on
the
marble
slab
and
those
at
the
opposite
'bathing
stations')
where
we
would
be
scrubbed
from
from
face
to
toe.
After
that,
we
would
be
fully
covered
with
bubbles
that
were
created
by
deflating
a
'cloth
bag'
filled
with
soapy
water.
I
liked
this
part
the
most.
The
process
was
completed
by
washing
our
hair
with
shampoo
and
rinsing
our
whole
body
clean.
The
shampoo
smells
really
nice.
We
were
then
guided
to
the
drying
station
where
we
were
towel
dried
and
wrapped
before
heading
back
to
the
common
resting
area
where
we
could
lay
on
the
sofa
to
rest
and
relax.
Beverages
are
available
at
a
cost.
Once
we
were
done,
we
headed
back
to
the
locker
room
to
change
out
and
take
our
belongings.
The
whole
bathing
process
perhaps
took
about
30
mins
and
we
rested
for
another
30
mins.
Only
hair
dryer
is
provided.
Do
bring
along
your
comb
and
face
moisturizer.
We
had
to
head
back
to
the
hotel
as
the
hair
was
so
messy
and
face
felt
so
'tight'
due
to
the
dry
climate.
Remove
make-up
before
going
would
be
better
too.
Service
staff
were
friendly
and
the
place
looked
clean.
Advanced
booking
is
strongly
recommended.
There
is
discount
if
you
pay
in
Turkish
Lira.
Some
tip
would
be
good
for
the
person
who
bathe
you,
the
cashier
would
put
the
tip
into
a
small
square
white
envelope
to
be
given
to
the
staff
later
on
when
you
make
the
payment.
Overall
I
think
it
is
an
experience
worth
trying
at
least
once.
But
I
would
probably
research
to
see
if
there
is
any
private
hammam
instead
if
I
were
to
do
it
again.
