Package Summary

A complete ritual, a full three hours

Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Hamamı's most comprehensive Turkish hamam package is Sultan. The full 180-minute experience consists of warming, the traditional kese and foam massage, full-body clay massage, a honey massage, a face mask, head-neck massage, a 30-minute foot massage, and a 60-minute scented olive-oil massage.

The ritual closes with rest and traditional refreshments. It is prepared for guests who want ample time given to every stage of the hamam experience.

Step by Step

The Ritual Flow

  1. 01

    Warming & Preparation

    Your ritual begins in the warmth of the hamam's heated marble and steam. This preparation time helps your body adjust to the heat, relax, and prepare for the traditional kese to follow.

  2. 02

    Traditional Kese & Foam Massage

    The traditional kese scrub helps remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface. A massage follows with a rich foam hand-whipped from natural olive-oil soap, leaving the skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed.

  3. 03

    Full-Body Clay Massage

    A natural clay is massaged into the entire body rather than left to sit and dry on the skin. The treatment leaves the skin feeling clean, refreshed, and cared for.

  4. 04

    Honey Massage

    A warm honey massage leaves the skin feeling soft and cared for, while deepening the relaxing character of the ritual.

  5. 05

    Face Mask & Head-Neck Massage

    While the face mask is applied, a relaxing massage is given to the head and neck. This stage pairs facial care with bodily relaxation, a calm transition into the ritual's remaining treatments.

  6. 06

    Foot Massage

    A dedicated foot massage forms one of the closing care stages of the ritual, completing the experience head to toe.

  7. 07

    Extended Oil Massage

    An extended full-body massage with scented olive oil helps the body relax and lets the hamam experience settle into a slower, uninterrupted rhythm.

  8. 08

    Rest & Traditional Refreshments

    After the ritual, you move to the resting area. Over traditional tea or seasonal şerbet, time is set aside for your body to cool gradually, for relaxation to continue, and for the experience to come to a calm close.

Included in every experience

  • Massages are performed with scented olive oil.
  • Soaps used throughout are natural olive-oil soap.
  • Traditional tea or seasonal şerbet is served at the close of the ritual, in the resting area.

Good to know

Before you visit

Opening Hours Open daily — men 08:00–23:00, women 09:00–21:00.

Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Hamamı is open every day. The men's section operates 08:00–23:00, and the women's section 09:00–21:00. The recommended last reservation time is 21:30 for men and 19:30 for women, to allow time for the full ritual.

Recommendations & Notes No outside food or drink, and photos only in the resting area.

Outside food and drink are not permitted in the hamam. In line with hygiene rules, no food or drink is served in the warm or hot rooms — guests may order from our menu in the resting area (soğukluk). Photos and videos may only be taken in the resting area, without disturbing other guests or including them in the shot, and in keeping with the general rules of a public establishment.

Separate, Yet Shared Men's and women's sections are separate, but the ritual is a shared one.

At Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Hamamı, men and women are served in separate sections — though we'd like to remind you that bathing in a hamam is, at heart, a shared experience, carried on the same way for centuries.

For Your Health A few conditions where we advise against a hamam visit.

Hamam treatments are not recommended for guests with heart or vascular conditions, high or low blood pressure, respiratory conditions (asthma, bronchitis, COPD), diabetes, or a urinary tract infection, or for guests who have recently had surgery or are undergoing cancer treatment. Guests with severe skin conditions such as burns or allergies, open wounds, or epilepsy are unable to make use of our services. Pregnant guests are advised not to enter the hamam. Drinking alcohol, or arriving very hungry or very full, before your visit are also worth keeping in mind for your health.

Your Valuables Are Safe A lockable cabinet is assigned to you for the duration of your visit.

You can safely store your personal belongings throughout your hamam experience in the lockable cabinet assigned to you.

No Need to Bring Anything Peştamal, towels, and personal care items are all provided.

For your comfort, everything you might need — peştamal, slippers, towels, shampoo, and other personal care items — is provided at the hamam. If you prefer, you're welcome to bathe in your own swimsuit or bikini. You're also welcome to bring your own personal care products and use your own shampoo and soap in the washing area.

For an Enjoyable Visit Arrive 15 minutes early; the full ritual takes about 90 minutes.

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your reservation time, so you can settle in comfortably before your ritual begins. From the moment you enter, our staff will guide you throughout. A full hamam experience — including washing and resting time — takes approximately 90 minutes; we kindly ask that you book your reservation with this duration in mind.
