Start your journey at the historic Çemberlitaş Hammam, where Ottoman tradition meets modern comfort. Immerse yourself in centuries of warmth, culture, and relaxation in one of Istanbul’s most iconic baths.
Nestled in Istanbul’s historic peninsula, Çemberlitaş Hammam is a stunning 1584 masterpiece by architect Sinan, commissioned by Nurbanu Sultan herself.
Guests are first welcomed into a warm, wood-paneled lounge where natural light and elegant design create a peaceful transition into the hammam experience.
The hot room centers around the famed Göbektaşı, a heated marble platform where guests lie back and unwind under a beautifully domed ceiling.
Traditional copper bowls and marble basins surround the space, allowing warm water to be gently poured over the body in this sacred bathing ritual.
Skilled tellaks and natırs perform the time-honored kese scrub, exfoliating the skin and boosting circulation with rhythmic, therapeutic movements.
The experience continues with a soothing bubble massage, as clouds of soft foam envelop the body in warmth, relaxation, and aromatic comfort.
Open daily from morning to midnight, Çemberlitaş Hammam offers flexible visits with no strict time limits, letting you enjoy the ritual at your pace.
