Traditional Hammam Experience in Ürgüp: Purification and Renewal
After a tiring day spent in the mystical atmosphere of Cappadocia, how about becoming a part of a thousands-year-old tradition? At Cappadocia Old Houses, we collaborate to offer our guests an unforgettable experience of purification and relaxation in traditional Turkish baths nestled within the historical fabric of Ürgüp.
The Turkish bath is more than just a bathing ritual; A social and cultural legacy inherited from the Ottoman Empire, it is also a therapy that deeply cleanses the body and soul.
Stages of the Hammam Experience:
- Heat (Heat Room): In the hot and steamy marble-lined hammam room, your body begins to relax. Your pores open, and toxins are eliminated.
- Kese Ritual: While lying on the marble navel stone, experienced therapists gently cleanse your body with a special scrub. This allows your skin to breathe and creates an incredible feeling of lightness.
- Foaming Massage: This relaxing massage, performed with abundant, soft suds from traditional bags, relaxes your muscles and gives the feeling of being wrapped in cotton.
- Cooling Down and Rest: At the end of the ritual, you will retire to a cool area to rest. You'll feel refreshed and rejuvenated with the traditional drinks served here.
