Rejuvenate your body and mind during a truly unique Turkish bath (hamam) experience. Upon arrival at the Turkish Bath, you will hear an explanation of what to expect. A refreshment will be served; then you’ll head to the changing room and take a short sauna to prepare for your bath. The process will start in the Hot Room—the Sicaklik. You will sit on the marble and pour water over yourself, relaxing in the moderate heat (not as hot as a sauna). When your skin is softened, you will have a body scrub with a kese or rough towel. Next, move to the big marble set in the middle of the bath that is called the Navel Stone, to rest. Wash off, take a shower and then you’ll step into a post-bathing room to enjoy some tea, apple tea, or a soft drink—a fitting end to this wonderfully relaxing experience. After your hamam outing, you will return to the port and re-board the ship.
Please note: The Turkish bath is unisex; men and women use the same areas. Bring your swimsuit; towels are provided. An optional oil massage is available at an extra charge.
