Step into the traditional Turkish bathhouse in Kusadasi, greeted by friendly staff and enveloped in a serene ambiance. Receive a brief introduction to the Turkish bath experience before heading to the changing area to secure your belongings in a provided locker. Change into a bathing suit or wrap and ensure your valuables are safely stored.

Enter the beautifully decorated bath area, complete with marble architecture, soft lighting, and soothing music, setting the stage for relaxation. Move into the steam room where the warm, humid air opens your pores and begins the relaxation process. Adjust your time here to suit your comfort, typically lasting between 10-15 minutes.

Next, lie down on the heated marble slab known as “gobektasi.” Here, a skilled bath attendant, or tellak, uses a coarse mitt called “kese” for a vigorous scrub that removes dead skin cells and leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated. After scrubbing, rinse off under a shower to cleanse your body.

Return to the gobektasi where the tellak prepares a luxurious foam using traditional olive oil soap and a special cloth. Enjoy a gentle and invigorating full-body foam massage that kneads and soothes your muscles, easing tension and promoting deeper relaxation.

After the foam massage, proceed to the cooling area or relaxation room. Relax on comfortable loungers or cushions, let your body cool down, and enjoy the quiet tranquility. Sip on refreshing Turkish tea and take about 15-20 minutes to fully unwind.

Conclude your visit by retrieving your belongings from the locker, reflecting on your rejuvenating experience, and departing the bathhouse feeling refreshed, relaxed, and revitalized.
