Bodrum Hammam Tour: An unmissable experience in Turkey made possible thanks to the Bodrum Hammam excursion. A relaxing afternoon in a hammam with exfoliation and soap massage included!

The history of Turkish hammam

Unfortunately, the tradition of hammam is lost everywhere in Turkey. 100 years ago there were around 2,500 public hammams in Turkey. Nowadays, there are only a hundred left. This decline is mainly due to the installation of bathrooms in houses from the 1950s - 60s.

Most Turkish baths are constructions from the period of the Ottoman Empire, that is, over 200 years ago. Turkish baths (Turkish hammam) were essential for personal hygiene. It was also a meeting point (we met with local women to have fun, Ottoman women examined their future daughters-in-law). While nowadays, it is a place to relax.

Public Turkish hammams are never mixed (it is possible that they are in hotels or private baths where it is not uncommon to offer a mixed package. This is the case for our Bodrum Hammam outing.
