What to do and see in Beyoglu, Turkey: The Best Hammams & Turkish Baths

August 10, 2021 Almeta Stockton

The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Cukurcuma Hamami

In various sources it is stated that Cukurcuma Hamam was built in the 1830's. The Kubbe(the wide dome) covering the warmness area, Gobektasi (the squared heated marble) and Halvet (sweating cabin area)are very bright and spacious and still reflect the magnificence of their era. Cukurcuma Hamam has begun to accept its guests as a boutique Turkish Hammam in September 2018 after a long renovation period.

If you would like to treat yourself to an amazing Turkish Bath while having the best amenities possible in a spotless, newly renovated historical place, you should go to the Cukurcuma Hamami. The building itself was meticulously renovated while staying true to its origins and turned into this almost like a modern day spa in a very historical and happening neighborhood in Istanbul. I went with my mom who has never been to a Turkish Bath since her childhood years. We both got the Freya package which includes both the Deep Scrubbing/Washing in the Turkish Bath and the Oil Massage, the whole experience was around two hours and we both LOVED it and highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back there! We were greeted by an amazing team of therapists, who provided us with a private room to change with a bracelet key to put our belongings. Immediately after, we were offered detox water while relaxing in the comfortable divans. Then they took us to the main area for the real Turkish Bath experience. Oh my goodness, what a treat! One of the therapists started singing for us which made the experience extra authentic and special. The oil massage was first class. They were able to accommodate special requests like my mom not wanting to stay on the hot stone for too long. They also provide disposable bikinis.

In short - Excellent service, great ambience, good location, outstanding value for money My wife used the service here the full Hamaam + Oil massage + face mask for 180TL i.e. 30 Euro. This was done after she wasn't satisfied with a Hamam at our 4 star hotel. The service here lasted well over 45 minutes and would have been longer has she not hurried up for something else. In any case, this is as close as possible to the real deal and the pricing here is between 20-50% of the other higher rated Hamams in Istanbul. They're true to their slogan - "We being you history not luxury". A must visit anytime we go to Istanbul. Don't even bother checking anywhere else. The staff were courteous and indeed quite hard working too. Full 5 stars.... Happened to meet the owner and he too was very polite and Ernest. He came up to me and said that if I went for the Hamam at my wife, it would leave very little time and that I won't enjoy fully add or will be rushed. He said he would recommend coming the next day and happily refunded the money I had paid. Gentleman.... Kids were able to stay in the reception area and even they enjoyed the complimentary Apple tea that was quite nice.
