Turkey is well known for the traditional Turkish Hamam (Turkish Bath) and treatments. Most of these hamams have been built during Ottoman Empire with amazing details from floors to doors and ceilings. When you visit Istanbul, you have many options when it comes to visit a Turkish hamam. But there is one which named One of the 1000 places to see before you die and according to The Guardian it is World´s Number #1 bath.


This amazing Hamam was constructed in 1741 and is the last hamam to be built after a long period during the Ottoman Empire. It is the last example of it´s kind and it is special because it is still operational in our time.


The door of the Women section is on a side street called Hamam while the Men´s entrance is form the main road with two marble columns with classic stalactite capitals on both sides.
You can see many celebrity pictures (from Kate Moss to John Travolta) on the walls before the entrance that have been visited to this amazing building.
Go to this Hamam, if you have enough time make it a day to experience a traditional hamam day, it definitely worths! Even if you do not have time for the bath it is so close to the Sultanahmet area (where Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque is) so you can stop by and check out why this place has made it to the 1000 places list!
