Çinili Hamam

The Çinili Hamam is located in Üsküdar on the Asian side of Istanbul. It is one of the best baths you can choose on the Asian side of Istanbul. The Hamam was built by Kösem Sultan in 1640. The Cinili Turkish Bath, known for its historically important tiles, is one of the baths of Istanbul that preserves its original structure.

The hamam has two 380-year-old domed chambers, heated by a wood furnace; the heat passes through pipes in the walls and ceiling. If you want to visit an authentic and local bath, which is still preferred by local people in Istanbul, Cinili Hamam is for you.

Prepare to leave the chaos and humdrum of life behind as soon as you enter the Turkish bath. Immerse yourself and embrace traditional custom by wearing the waistcloth and clogs provided. Not quite for the faint-hearted, the temperature can reach up to 50 degrees Celsius under the central dome of the building.
The combined intense heat and humidity encourage the pores to open and impurities to be extracted from the body.
Following this, your skin will be gently exfoliated with a Turkish scrub, and you will receive a soothing soap massage. Finally, after resting, you can enjoy Turkish tea or orange juice before being taken back to your hotel feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed.

Tip: If you are planning to stay in the hamam for any length of time, take a small bottle of water with you.
