Ada Saray Hammam - TURKISH BATH Optional
The primary aim of a Turkish Bath is to cleanse and rejuvenate both body and mind. The ritual begins with sweating out toxins in the steam room, allowing skin pores to open and release impurities.
Next, guests move to the hot marble slab at the bath’s center, where a skilled masseuse uses a special exfoliating glove called a “kese” to scrub the body, removing dead skin cells and leaving the skin smooth and refreshed.
Following this, a relaxing soap massage with olive oil soap creates a silky lather that nourishes the skin. The masseuse uses long, soothing strokes to massage the body, promoting relaxation and enhancing blood circulation.
The entire Turkish Bath process benefits both physical well-being and mental and emotional health.
