The tradition of the steam bath dates back to before the Turks arrived in Anatolia. When they arrived here, they brought their bathing customs, which were confronted with Roman and Byzantine customs. The traditions merged and a whole new concept was created: the Turkish bath, which in time became a real institution. The Turkish bath is a permanent part of everyday life, a place where people meet regardless of social status or age. Hammam (or Turkish bath) is a must-visit point of a vacation in Turkey. It is best to visit it in the very first days of your stay. Hammam is a place to cleanse the soul and body.
