A Turkish bath (hamam) in Side usually combines time on the heated marble platform, a scrub with a kese mitt and a foam massage. Prices, session length and opening hours: [DOĞRULANACAK] — they vary from hamam to hamam, and many hotels run their own.
The hamam is the Turkish form of the steam bath. You first warm up on the göbek taşı, the heated marble platform in the centre of the domed room; then an attendant scrubs you down with a rough kese mitt and finishes with a soapy foam massage. Many hamams add a sauna, a pool or an oil massage.
In Side you will find hamams in the town, in the surrounding hotel areas and inside many hotels. The experience depends a lot on the individual bath, so it pays to ask what exactly is included before you book.
