Old Turkish Bath — Local services in Fethiye

Authentic, rustic and very pleasant! We very much enjoyed our trip to the Old Turkish Bath. Housed in a 400 year old building, you are instantly drawn to its rustic, beautiful architecture. Keeping in mind the age of the Hammam, do not expect too many modern frills. There is no sauna or steam bath and the changing areas, toilets and cool down area are rudimentary at best. That being said, if you can forego these things for a while and appreciate the authenticity of the Old Turkish Bath, you are in for a nice experience. Packages here start at €24 or so. We opted for the salt peel add on, at €30 approx each with the add on. Having relaxed on the marble in the Hammam for ten minutes or so, the Tellaks will arrive and begin the scrub down. They almost sand your skin down, applying the force you'd expect at a Turkish Bath. After this, they applied the coarse salt to be left on for a further fifteen mins, which was very uncomfortable and stung a fair bit, but beneficial ultimately. Staff were friendly at the Old Turkish Bath and we left feeling very relaxed.If I were to go again I would have a different peel (avoid salt if your skin is sensitive). It is not our favourite of the handful of Hammams we have attended in Turkiye, but still a lovely experience in a beautiful town and recommended for those looking for a traditional...

Wow! This was just lovely. I came once 35 years ago and remembered my visit with a now-dead friend very fondly. I recalled the masseur that afternoon wringing me out like a sponge… We worried a little about booking over the phone in case the language gap was problematic, and we worried because we weren’t sure about what we wanted. we worried even more about crossing the threshold into a very Turkish establishment, and felt vulnerable undressing. We shouldn’t have worried about being out of our comfort-zone. At all! It was delightful. The bath house was beautiful and calm and softly lit by the star-shaped openings in the dome above. (Amazingly people have been getting clean here since Shakespeare’s day). The staff were charming, kind, and extraordinarily skilled. I had thought in such historic surroundings the wash and massage might be perfunctory. It was instead memorably good. It lasted considerably longer than we booked and the bill was surprisingly very modest. We plan an unscheduled return because we can’t face leaving Turkey without going again. So should you go? YES! YES!! Of course! This is a truly...

A must try experience in Turkey! It’s a really traditional place (not a SPA imitating an old hamam). The price is very reasonable considering how relaxed and well cleaned you leave after the procedure. You may also chose to have a massage after for extra charge. Beautiful old indoors with a friendly and professional staff. After being bathed you can take your time to relax, have something to drink, and if you want to try it on your own at home- you can purchase all the accessories they use there. The baths have two buildings. One for single men and one for women and families (that includes couples such us us). It’s a pity that covid scared away customers, because the place is very clean and well kept and I bet chances of transmission are way smaller than if you were to sit around in one of the crowded restaurants in the area.
