Rejuvenate your body and mind during a truly unique Turkish bath (hamam) experience.
A refreshment will be served; then you’ll head to the changing room and take a short sauna to prepare for your bath.
The process with start in the Hot Room -- the sicaklik. You will sit on the marble and pour water over yourself, relaxing in the moderate heat (not as hot as a sauna). When your skin is softened, you will have a body scrub with a kese or rough towel.
Next, move to the big marble set in the middle of the bath that is called the Navel Stone, to rest. Wash off, take a shower and then you’ll step into a post-bathing room to enjoy some tea, apple tea, or a soft drink -- a fitting end to this wonderfully relaxing experience.
After your hamam outing, you will return to the port and re-board the ship.
Notes:
The Turkish bath is unisex; men and women use the same areas. Bring your swimsuit; towels are provided. An optional oil massage is available at an extra charge.
