Trying a Turkish Bath in Istanbul, Turkey: Our First Time! 🇹🇷

The Turkish hammam bath is an age-old tradition in Turkey, and some of the main keywords tied to this experience are “abused,” “beaten,” “brutal,” and “passing out.” While in Istanbul, Turkey, we wanted to find out for ourselves if the Turkish bath is indeed an experience of pain, or perhaps, one of pleasure. After a very long, hot, and steamy experience, our first time at the Turkish hammam revealed an unexpected outcome to end our time in Istanbul. 🇹🇷

Turkish hammam bath in Istanbul, Turkey, we chose to use: Suleymaniye Hamami

I loved this narration of the Turkish bath experience 😂 It sounded very cool, I'll definitely take a Turkish bath when I travel to Turkey in May 😍🙌🏼

Your visit to a Turkish Bath was truly entertaining. Your narration of your visit was super interesting. I loved the historical commentary. The video of the interior of the Turkish Bath was beautiful. I laugh so hard when I heard Chad’s tell the story of how the Turkish masseuse tried to beat the unhealthy impurities out of him! This video must make your top 10 list of your most fascinating videos!

@claire- when you go into the hammam- are you the only couple there or can there be other folks there at the same time. Trying to understand how private this is.

Why havent you post the full video of Turkish bath? How they clean us..

[elvafong]

I really liked your video and am wanting to experience a turkish bath when I visit Turkey. I went on the website of Suleymaniye Hamami and they said that they accept online reservation and it said cash only. How did you book the reservation and pay cash only?

Hello, please let me know we're was the place in estambul that you do the Hamam?

[aaronroberts]

The baths sound great and refreshing, you guys must have felt cleansed after that 😉

[Diamondbeach]

Did guys go during g Covid? And would u say it’s pretty safe to visit Istanbul?

[marciafernandez]

How long does this Turkish bath last (As you guys mentioned was $55 each)?

Also as a matter of curiosity just men give the bath or have you seems any women doing the Turkish bath(at least woman to woman)?
