Traveller reviews
Good first hammam experience. The scrub made my skin feel brand new.
Pickup was easy and the whole visit felt calm, not awkward.
The Turkish bath was exactly what we needed after too much sun. The scrub was stronger than I expected, but afterward my skin felt completely fresh, and the foam massage was very relaxing. Staff explained each step before it happened, so it didnt feel awkward as a first-timer. The tea afterward was a nice small touch.
Tea afterward was a nice small touch. We left feeling properly refreshed.
This is not a luxury spa, but it is clean, traditional, and good value. The changing area was basic, and I would have liked the massage to last a little longer. The scrub and foam treatment were both enjoyable, and pickup from the hotel was easy. I left feeling much better than when I arrived.
The changing area was basic, but the bath and foam treatment were lovely.
