1000 must-see places before you die

Visit the authentic Cağaloğlu Hamamı in Istanbul’s old city, which dates back to Ottoman times. This bathing tradition is still popular today. Cağaloğlu is the last big hamam built in the Ottoman era and was put on the list of 1000 must-see places before you die by the New York Times! The Hamam has been in continuous operation since it opened in 1741. Unlike other major hamams in the city, it is in its original state, having never been restored. The result is a historic ambience virtually unchanged from Ottoman times. Cagaloglu offers various traditional treatments; the most indulgent, the Sultan Mahmut I package, features a massage by two attendants.
Book a session and enjoy the surprising benefits of the centuries-old bathing rituals of the Ottomans.

Know before you go to the Cağaloğlu Hamamı
There are some strict hamam rules to be followed.
For example, there is no mixing of the sexes. Either the Turkish bath has 2 sections (1 for each sex), or it admits men and women at different times of the day.
Men usually completely strip and wear nothing underneath the bath wrap. Women, on the other hand, typically keep their underwear on (but often not their bra) underneath the bath wrap. The choice is yours.
Cagaloglu Hamam is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 10 pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 am to 11 pm.
The masseur and scrubber will be the same sex as you are.
Standard soap is used. If you have sensitive skin or are allergic to some products, bring your own soap.
Advance booking is always advisable.
The tip is normally 10-20 per cent of the total amount.
