What to Bring to a Hamam
A hamam bag packs in a minute, because the hamam supplies most of it.
Quick answer
Pack swimwear, fresh underwear for the ride home and a comb or brush. The hamam hands you a towel, a peştemal and slippers. Leave valuables at your hotel and be ready to pay the total shown in your booking — the bill is settled at the hamam when you visit.
In the bag
- Swimwear — worn for the whole visit.
- Fresh underwear — for the ride home.
- Comb or brush — your hair will most likely be washed as well.
- Your booking confirmation — on your phone is enough.
- Money for the bill — no card details or deposit are taken online; you pay at the hamam itself when you visit.
Waiting for you there
Towel, peştemal (the hamam's thin cotton wrap) and slippers. No need to bring your own, unless you simply prefer your own towel.
Leave at the hotel
Jewellery, watches and anything precious. Steam, water and soap do them no favours, and you will not need them. Carry only the phone and money the day requires.
Packing for children
Swimwear and a full change of clothes for every child. Tell us their ages when booking — the massages are designed for adults, and the hamam will confirm what suits the children. More in a Turkish bath with children.
