Bodrum Turkish Bath with Transport

Turkish baths are synonymous the world over with relaxation and rejuvenation. The bath house, or hammam, has been a central part of life in Turkey for centuries, and with good reason – they're a serious refresher for the mind, body and soul. Change into your swimwear in a cubicle, wrap yourself in a towel and step into the marble-tiled hammam or steam room. Relax on a heated marble bench and let the warm steam open your pores and ease the toxins from your skin. Then lie on a warm stone slab for an exfoliating body scrub, receive a bubbly foam massage, before rounding off your pampering with a 20-minute massage with essential oils – bliss (the oil massage is optional and can be selected by guests via modality). Once you've cooled off, you'll come away feeling utterly refreshed.
