20 minutes of steaming to open your pores, a really thorough exfoliating rub over (don’t go with sunburn) with a loofa mitt, olive oil soap bubbles, and massage, rinse off and hair wash.
The Hamam ritual usually takes about 60 minutes.
Prepare to leave the chaos and humdrum of life behind as soon as you enter the Turkish bath. Immerse yourself and embrace traditional custom by wearing the waistcloth and clogs provided.
Not quite for the faint-hearted, inside the temperature can reach up to 50 degrees celsius under the central dome of the building.
The combined intense heat and humidity encourage the pores to open and impurities to be extracted from the body.
Following this, your skin will be gently exfoliated with a Turkish scrub and you will receive a soothing soap massage.
At the end of the session, you’ll feel refreshed, wide-awake and ready to face the rest of your holiday with squeaky-clean, glowing skin!
About The Old Turkish Bath Boutique Hamam
Fethiye’s Old Turkish Bath Hamam ( Tarihi Fethiye Hamami ) is located in the Old Town (Paspatur). It was built, together with the Old Mosque nearby, in the 16th century by Yavuz Sultan Selim.
This is a beautiful mixed hammam – a fantastic place to be steamed, scrubbed and massaged. With most hammams now based in hotels this is an original alternative with its traditional Moorish design and architecture (check out the brass fittings). It is professional and welcoming, swimwear is worn, and girls can request a female masseuse.
The 16th-century hammam is still in use and though it’s a bit touristy, it is full of atmosphere, with 14 domes and six arches taking you back to the days of the old-fashioned Turkish bath. It can be a fine way to scrub off the barnacles after a long voyage. They also offer facial, mani-pedis, and a popular rose oil massage. Feel free to wear your bathing suit, or use the peştemal (traditional hammam towel) they provide.
There are separate sections for men and women (and a mixed section for couples).
You really do feel amazing, afterwards: radiant and squeaky clean.
Address: Hamam Sokak No: 4 Paspatur, Fethiye Harbour, Fethiye, Turkey
