If you want a top-notch tan whilst trying something new, then a trip to a hammam or Turkish bath is definitely for you. Hammams have existed in Turkey since ancient times, providing locals with a way to relax and freshen up. They're also brilliant for exfoliating your skin so you're more likely to develop a lasting tan.

Head to one of the best local hammams and you'll change into your swimwear and wrap up in a towel. The hammam itself is a humid, marble-tiled room with a ‘gobektasi', a heated stone slab in the centre. Relax as the heat softens your skin, opens your pores and gets you sweating out those toxins.

Lie on the ‘gobektasi', and you'll be treated to an aromatic salt body scrub followed by a covering in soft, soapy bubbles and a face mask. After that, you'll enjoy a bronzing oil massage and a fresh fruit plate that'll leave you positively glowing. It's a great way to start your holiday.

I was a little late for my appointment but they sent a car to pick me up and could not do enough for me I would highly recommend this Turkish bath to anyone who wants one value for money is A1 will be going again in September in fact I will be going to this one every time I come to Turkey absolutely loved it from the minute I walked in 10/10

Lots of add on extras - you don’t have to have them if you don’t want to A drink included - not an extra would have been nice but overall a good trip

The pick up was good, the actual activity was very good, the turkish bath was excellent and the quality of the massage was superb. The massage is only 30 mins but they should tell you upfront and give you the option of extending when you arrive rather than when you lying on the bed in the middle of the massage. Also they don't take card and so after agreeing to pay extra, which i didn't mind as it was excellent, they had to take me to an ATM to get the cash.

I very much enjoyed the Turkish Bath part of the experience and while I also enjoyed the rest of it the oil massage, sauna etc weren’t any different from what you would get in any other spa. There was a bit of up selling as mentioned elsewhere but it wasn’t a particularly hard sell so didn’t bother me. Note that drinks are extra but they accepted card payments. Slightly marked down on safety as I was on my own a lot - no problem for me as a middle aged man but possibly uncomfortable for others

I went with my 10yr old son. Our guide stayed with us throughout each stage, which was reassuring, as my husband didnt come. The first section was the sauna etc. Then full body scrub on the hot slab with bubbles. The guy took really good care of my son, made him feel comfortable. I was offered additional treatments, a medical massage and facial. I thought the price was good. I didn't feel pressured. It was well worth it, the massage was incredible. I would go again, v welcoming + v clean.

Offered hard or soft massage. I got man, friend got lady masseur. Some ladies may be put off if getting man, he did nothing inappropriate as such but swim costume lifted. My friend who had lady experienced same so all good but as i say might not suit all
