Step by Step
Located in the heart of Istanbul's historic district, the Çemberlitaş Hammam is a living testimony to the splendour of the Ottoman Empire. Built in 1584 by the legendary architect Mimar Sinan by order of Sultana Nurbanu, this hammam has welcomed generations of visitors seeking purification, relaxation and spiritual renewal.
The experience begins as you enter the majestic vaulted lobby, where you will be enveloped by the scent of natural soap and the murmur of water. You will then move on to the main steam room, a heated marble room topped by a translucent dome that gently lets in the light. Here you will relax as the heat opens your pores and prepares your skin for exfoliation.
Afterwards, an expert bather will apply the traditional kese (exfoliation), removing impurities and leaving your skin soft and renewed. If you wish, you can complement the experience with a massage with foam or aromatic oil, a perfect option to achieve a deep level of relaxation.
The bath culminates with some time to relax in the cool area, where you can enjoy a tea or local drink and admire the beauty of the carved marble, mosaics and historical atmosphere that envelops every corner.
The Çemberlitaş Hammam is not only a place for the body, but also for the soul. Every detail - from the architecture to the water ritual - reflects centuries of Ottoman tradition dedicated to wellness and inner harmony.
