Things to do in Cappadocia, Turkey: The Best Hammams & Turkish Baths
Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

we stayed for two nights but it was a fantastic stay.. Ms. Angela was more than great, welcomed us warmly as soon as we reached and took us into an introductory tour around the hotel explain every single facility and service they offer in details. she made sure to provide all the information and services that we requested during our stay, thank you. the room was fabulous, very clean, neat , elegant rustic decor, comfortable bedding and perfectly cozy lighting. bathroom and jacuzzi was ideal. breakfast included a variety of local dishes.. lots of organic dried fruit and a lovely women were sitting in a corner making their local "gözleme" on demand. although the hotel is a bit far from the center and the touristic places but they are offering a shelter bus every half an hour till 8 pm to the center in addition to 24/7 taxi. the small garden was charming and give you a calming time. unfortunately we didnt have that much time to go to their hamam or try the massages, hopefully next time. not a good photographer so not much photos provided.. those were room view.

My partner and I enjoyed a relaxing Saturday evening at Heybe Hamam and Spa. The location is excellent-right in the heart of Göreme. We opted for the standard spa package. It included sauna, steam room, hamam (scrub and foam wash), salt room, clay face mask, Turkish tea at a very reasonable price. The spa offered fantastic facilities including changing room, showers and everything was sparkling clean. Towels were included. This was a great experience, very relaxing! Spa manager and masseuses were very friendly and accommodating. Recommend 5*.

Turkish Bath The Turkish bath, also know as hamam or hammam, is one of the ancient world's most widely exported customs. The tradition of the Turkish bath was born generations ago, adopted from Romans and Byzantines and then perfected by the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks and has continued even until today. "What happens in a Hamam?" Well, the ritual is simple. After entering to our hamam at Kelebek Hotel, you will find yourself in the camekan with changing cubicles. Wearing only a Pestemal (a large striped or checked towel fringed at both ends and wrapped around the chest), and clanking on the marble floor in your nalins (clogs), you pass through a semi-transparent door and reach the core Sicaklik (hot room). To feel more comfortable, we suggest our guests to have their swim-suits with them as well. Sicaklik (also known as Hararet), is a high room filled with the sound of splashing water, the scent of soap, and wafting steam through which daily concerns and worries cannot penetrate. In the gentle moist heat your body relaxes, and your nerves are soothed. You sit down at one of the marble wash basins which line the walls, and adjusting the temperature of the water to a delicious warmth, dip the copper bathing bowl into the basin and tip the water over your head and body. Waves of relaxation seem to pour right through you as the water ripples down. If you purchase peeling & soap massage, which is known as "Kese" in Turkish Bath culture, your attendant (tellak for men and natir for women) will pour hot water on you and then begin to scrub every square inch of your body. Basically, every millimeter of dead and dirty skin is scrubbed off, even the skin between your fingers and toes. Afterwards you are lathered with liquid soap and shampoo and given the choice of many different massage types including classic, arometherapy, medical, shiatsu therapy and others in special massage rooms with a relaxing music on the background. The massage is guaranteed to make you feel relaxed. When it is done, one last shower and then it is time to leave the Sicaklik, steam room. Then you are given fresh towels and again brought to Sogukluk (the cool room, lobby) to rest, dry off and socialize with other guests which are now "Hamamers". After resting as long as you like, it is time to go. You will get up and get dressed and as you walk to your room and pass by the mirrors, take a fleeting look at yourself. Your skin will be glowing rosily. But you will feel it, as soft as a baby's skin. Even though Sauna is not a part of traditional Turkish Bath, we offer for our guests as well. We have 20% special winter discount on cash payment between 1st November 2015 - 31st March 2016!

We visited the spa for a massage and scrub package after a couple of weeks of travelling had worn us out. Akak and her colleagues, whose names I did not catch, were professional and ensured that we had a relaxing experience. The hotel staff were also very warm and welcoming when we checked in and out of the spa. I would recommend this spa for anyone looking to relax and unwind.
