    TURKİSH BATH Optional The main purpose of a Turkish Bath is to cleanse and revitalize both the body and the mind. It involves a series of steps that follow a specific ritual. Firstly, you’ll start by sweating out toxins in the steam room, allowing the pores of your skin to open up and release impurities. Afterwards, you’ll proceed to the hot marble slab at the center of the bath, where a skilled masseuse will scrub your body with a special exfoliating glove called a “kese.” This scrubbing helps to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling incredibly smooth and refreshed. Next, you’ll receive a relaxing soap massage using olive oil soap, which produces a silky lather and nourishes your skin. The masseuse will use long, soothing strokes to massage your body, promoting relaxation and increasing blood circulation. The entire process of a Turkish Bath is not only beneficial for your physical well-being but also for your mental and emotional state. The warm steam.
