FAQ

The short answers

Settle the practical questions first — each answered in a line or two.


What is it?
A traditional Turkish bath (hamam) in the Side area, booked as a half-day outing: we collect you from your hotel, you go through the basic hamam programme, and we drive you back.
What is included?
The drive there and back, sauna, steam room, the kese scrub, the foam and a basic aromatic oil massage of about 20 minutes.
Is the hotel transfer included?
Yes, both ways and inside the price, for hotels in nine areas around Side.
How long does it take?
Count on roughly 2.5–3 hours from being collected to being dropped back.
How much is it?
An adult pays €20 and a child of 4–10 pays €10; under 4 it is free. Payment is on the day.
Is a massage included?
It is: a basic aromatic oil massage of about 20 minutes closes the programme, once the kese and foam are done.
Can I upgrade the massage?
Not online for now — what you book here is the Basic Hamam. A longer or different massage is bought at the hamam, at its own price, and never lands on your booking.
Which hotels are served?
Hotels in Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç and Kızılot.
Where is the hamam?
The hamam you visit is selected according to your hotel and transfer area; your pickup time, and where to wait for it, reach you before the day.
How do I book?
Online: pick a date, your hotel and your party, add your details, and the full price is on screen before you confirm. Cancelling is free up to 24 hours before, and nothing is paid online.

Included

What the basic hamam includes

Six parts, all of them in the price — none costs extra on the day.

  • Hotel transfer There and back from your hotel in the Side area, in an air-conditioned vehicle.
  • Sauna Dry heat first, so you are warmed through before any washing starts.
  • Steam room Air heavy with warm steam — the final step of the warm-up.
  • Kese An attendant gives you a full-body scrub with the coarse kese mitt.
  • Foam treatment Thick soap foam, spread and worked over you, then rinsed away.
  • Basic oil massage To finish, about 20 minutes of massage with aromatic oil.

What happens, from hotel to hotel

Inside, the sequence and the timing can vary a little between hamams, and with how busy a session is.

  1. Hotel pickup At the time we sent you for your hotel, the vehicle comes to collect you.
  2. The drive Towards the hamam picked for your hotel's transfer area.
  3. Sauna You change, then warm up in the dry heat.
  4. Steam room Warm, wet steam — the last of the warm-up.
  5. Kese Lying on the warm marble, you are scrubbed down with the kese mitt by an attendant.
  6. Foam Soap foam piled over you, worked in and washed off.
  7. Oil massage A basic aromatic oil massage of about 20 minutes.
  8. Rinse and change One last rinse, then you dry off and get dressed.
  9. Back to your hotel The ride back to your hotel. Door to door, about 2.5–3 hours.

The massage: what you get, and what you can add

Included

Basic aromatic oil massage

About 20 minutes, once the kese and foam are done — part of every booking at €20 per adult.

Optional · not sold online yet

Longer or different massages

No longer or different massage is sold on this site yet: we only put a price online when we can stand behind it. The hamam sells extended and other treatments on the day at its own prices, and none of them is ever added to your online booking.

Hotel pickup

Hotel pickup — and which hamam you go to

Hotel → area → hamam → route. We plan the transfer from where you are staying.

  1. 1. Your hotel
  2. 2. Its transfer area
  3. 3. The hamam for that area
  4. 4. The day's pickup route

Not every guest ends up in the same building: you go to the hamam selected for your hotel's transfer area.

Your exact pickup time is confirmed according to your hotel and daily transfer schedule. You receive it before the day — it is never a guess made in advance — and the ride back to your hotel is part of the price too.

Areas we collect from

From all nine, the round trip is in the price. Staying elsewhere? Ask before you book — we will not accept a pickup we cannot make.

What to bring, what to know

Bring

  • Swimwear or a bikini, kept on the whole time
  • Dry underwear for afterwards
  • A comb or hairbrush

The hamam hands you a towel and a peştemal wrap.

Good to know

  • Have only something light to eat beforehand, and no alcohol.
  • If you would rather have an attendant of your own gender, tick the box when you book.
  • A tip for the attendants is customary, optional, and never part of the price.

Health

Not recommended during pregnancy or with heart or circulatory conditions. If you are sensitive to heat or humidity, or under medical care, speak to your doctor before you book and tell the hamam when you arrive.

Questions guests ask

All questions and answers
Is hotel transfer included?
It is. For hotels in Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side, Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç and Kızılot, the round trip is part of the price — see the pickup list. Staying somewhere else? Ask us first.
What is included in the Basic Hamam?
The return transfer from your hotel, the sauna and steam room, a kese scrub, the foam, and a basic aromatic oil massage of about 20 minutes. At the hamam you are given a towel and a peştemal to wrap in. Fares and what is extra.
Is a massage included, and how long is it?
It is. Each booking ends with a basic aromatic oil massage of about 20 minutes, after the scrub and the foam — more about the massage.
Can I upgrade to a longer or different massage?
Not on this site yet — the online price buys the Basic Hamam and nothing more. If you decide on a longer or different massage at the hamam, you pay the hamam's own price there; it is never added to your booking. See where upgrades stand.
When will I know my pickup time?
Before the day of your visit, together with where to wait. It depends on where your hotel sits on that day's route, so there is no single time we could print for everyone.
Where is the hamam, and how far is it from my hotel?
Each guest goes to the hamam picked for their hotel's transfer area, so two hotels do not necessarily share the same building; your pickup time, and where to wait for it, reach you before the day. We publish no distance or drive time — count on about 2.5–3 hours door to door, both drives included. How the pickup works.
Can I book for today?
Online bookings start from tomorrow's date in Türkiye, on any day the booking calendar offers. For today, message us on WhatsApp and we will check — without a promise. Book online.
What should I wear?
Swimwear or a bikini, worn from start to finish. The hamam supplies the towel and the peştemal wrap — the packing list.
Can children take part?
Yes, with a parent. The massage stages are designed for adults, so please write the children's ages in your booking. The hamam with children.
How and when do I pay?
On the day itself. Booking costs nothing, and at no point do we ask for a card — prices and payment.
Can I cancel?
Yes — until 24 hours before, it costs nothing. Send us a WhatsApp or ring +90 536 603 75 84; to move your date, message us and we will check what is possible. Cancellation policy.
