Why have a Turkish bath in Cappadocia?

The Turkish bath (hammam) is one of the oldest wellness rituals of Anatolia. After an early balloon flight, a long valley hike or a dusty ATV ride, a hammam session is the easiest way to warm up, clean the skin and rest your muscles before dinner.

Where is the hammam?

The sessions take place in a modern spa in Çavuşin / Avanos, a short drive from Göreme, Ürgüp and Uçhisar. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Göreme, Ürgüp, Uçhisar, Avanos and Çavuşin is included in the price, so you do not need a car or a taxi.

How a session works, step by step

Sauna – warms the body and opens the pores.
Private hamam – only you and the people in your booking use the hammam.
Peeling (kese) – a therapist removes dead skin with the traditional rough mitt.
Foam massage – the famous foam wash with natural olive oil soap.
Massage (90-minute package only) – a 30-minute aromatherapy or deep tissue massage.
Terracotta face mask, then a glass of local wine with fresh fruits.

60 or 90 minutes? The two packages

Package	Duration	Included
Elite	60 minutes	Sauna, private hamam, peeling and foam massage, terracotta face mask, wine with fruits
Prestige	90 minutes	Everything in Elite plus a 30-minute aromatherapy or deep tissue massage

Choose the 60-minute package for a classic Turkish bath, or the 90-minute package if you also want a full massage.

Session times

Sessions start at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00 and 20:00. If you are flying in a balloon at sunrise, the 12:00 or 14:00 slot is the most comfortable; the 20:00 slot is ideal after a full day of touring.

Private, for couples and small groups

Every session is private. Couples, friends and small groups can book the same time slot. If you prefer a male or female therapist, write it in the notes when booking and it will be arranged whenever possible.

What to bring

Your swimwear – peştemal (hammam towel), towels and disposable slippers are provided.
Avoid a heavy meal and alcohol right before your session.

Who can join?

Guests from 10 years old can book. Pregnant guests should avoid the sauna and the deep tissue massage – please tell us in advance so the therapist can adapt the treatment.
