This famed bathhouse (hammam) has been wonderfully restored, so that you can soak up the full scrub-and-steam treatment, just like in the Ottoman days.
Turkish bathhouses were an important community element during the Ottoman era before running water in houses became commonplace.
A trip to the hammam wasn't just about hygiene, though. This was the place where you came to catch up on all the gossip and even do business deals.
