  After visiting Cappadocia, you'll be transported to a traditional Turkish Bath experience. Upon arrival at the bath entrance, you'll receive tokens and instructions. In the dressing room, you'll change and envelop yourself in a peştamal, a traditional cotton body wrap. After securing your belongings in the locker and keeping the key with you, you'll enter the heated area known as the sıcaklık (caldarium). Here, a large heated marble platform is surrounded by bathing basins (kurna) and private bathing cubicles (halvet). To start, induce perspiration by reclining on the heated marble or pouring hot water from nearby basins. Next, your attendant will provide an exfoliating scrub and bubble wash as you relax on the warm platform. Following this, you'll move to one of the basins for a thorough washing by the attendant.
