How does the hammam visit in Antalya work?
Hotel pickup
We pick you up at the hotel gate, by the security post, just past the barrier, at the time you chose. We’ll put the exact pickup time for your hotel on your e-ticket once your booking is confirmed. Then the bus takes you to the hammam.
Welcome and changing room
English-speaking staff meet you on arrival and show you to the changing room, where you’re given a towel, slippers and a locker key.
Once you’ve changed, you step into the hammam hall, with its warmth, steam and soft light, and your body slowly starts to relax.
Sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and pool
Before the treatments there’s time to warm up: try the sauna and the steam room, sit in the jacuzzi and take a dip in the pool. Once the steam has softened your skin, the scrub feels gentler and more comfortable.
Kese mitt scrub
Next, the therapist spends about 10 minutes scrubbing your skin with a kese mitt to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth.
It’s best to have the scrub in the first days of your holiday, as you’ll then tan more evenly.
Foam massage
After the kese, the therapist covers you in thick, warm soap foam and gives you a light massage of about 10 minutes, which helps ease tension.
Classic oil massage
The classic oil massage lasts about 20 minutes. It’s calm and unhurried, helps relax your muscles after the flight and busy days on holiday, and leaves your body feeling light. It’s given to guests aged 13 and over.
Rest before the drive back
Once the treatments are over, you can sit quietly and rest.
Back to your hotel
After the programme, the bus takes you back to your hotel. You spend about 1.5–2 hours at the hammam itself, and the whole trip, transfers included, takes about 2.5–3 hours, so it fits easily into any day of your holiday.
A couple of hours at the hammam lets your body rest, leaves your skin clean before you tan and gives you a traditional Turkish bath ritual without taking up a whole day.

What is a Turkish hammam?
A hammam is a gentle bathing ritual. There’s no fierce heat in the marble hall itself: your body warms up gradually in the warm steam. Then come the kese scrub, foam massage and classic oil massage. The treatments take place on warm marble.
Do the hammam staff speak English?
Yes, the staff speak English. You can discuss the programme with them, ask questions and request a gentler or firmer massage.
Does the hammam have separate sections for men and women?
No, the hammam is mixed. Women can request a female therapist. If this matters to you, please mention it when you book or as soon as you arrive at the hammam.
Can I bring children to the hammam?
Yes, children are welcome. Children aged 0–6 go free, but no treatments are provided for them, and parents look after their little ones themselves. Children aged 7–12 pay the child price and have the kese scrub and foam massage. The classic oil massage is given from the age of 13: from that age a child has the full programme at the adult price.
What is a kese scrub?
A kese scrub cleanses the skin with a special mitt. First, your body warms up thoroughly and your skin softens. Then the therapist gently removes the dead skin cells. Afterwards your skin feels smoother and fresher.
What is a foam massage?
During a foam massage your body is covered in thick, warm foam. The therapist uses soft massage strokes, and you gradually relax. Coming straight after the kese scrub, it’s especially pleasant and completes the cleansing.
When is the best time to go to the hammam?
In the first days of your holiday. The hammam helps you recover from the flight and unwind, and after the kese scrub you tan more evenly. The programme takes just a few hours, so it’s easy to fit in alongside some time at the beach on any day of your holiday.
How long does the hammam visit take?
Guests spend about 1.5–2 hours at the hammam itself. The whole trip, transfers included, takes about 2.5–3 hours.
Do I need to bring my own towel?
The hammam provides towels. If you’d rather use your own, you’re welcome to bring it.
What is included, and what costs extra?
For adults, the full hammam programme includes the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, pool, kese scrub, foam massage and classic oil massage. At the hammam you may be offered extra treatments or massages beyond the programme; these are paid for separately at the hammam’s prices, and it’s up to you whether to have them.
Will my child have their own seat on the bus?
Children with a paid ticket get their own seat on the bus. Children aged 0–6 travel free and sit on an adult’s lap. If your little one needs their own seat, please book a paid child ticket for them.
