Impossible to leave Istanbul without going at least once to the famous Turkish baths famous all over the world, the hammams. You can find magnificent traditional hammams everywhere in the city, as well as luxurious spas, modern versions of these ancestral baths.
If you are traveling as a couple, don’t forget that traditional hammams very rarely (Islam obliges) offer mixed rooms. In this case, therefore, choose the spas of luxury hotels, which generally offer couples the possibility of privatizing a hammam in order to enjoy it together.
