Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamam

One of the most notable historical sites in Istanbul, the Hurrem Sultan Hamam, is a Turkish bath located at the heart of the old city of Sultanahmet. It offers the best spot for a relaxing and rejuvenating afternoon with its many hammam and massage packages under the expert assistance of the Hammam ladies. A basic 30-minutes Hamam treatment starts at 55 Euros and goes up to 185 Euros with more advanced packages.

Built by the chief architect of the empire, Mimar Sinan, at the request of Suleiman the Magnificent's wife, this luxurious and impressive bath was constructed over the ruins of Zeuksippos baths and used actively until 1910 post which it was non-operational for many years. Reopened to the general public in 2011, it reflects the intricacies of the classical Turkish design and is, to date, one of the most frequently visited local attractions. With an on-site restaurant and a gift shop selling exceptional bath products, it is the perfect place to visit for a quick hour-long energy boost.
