Wellness travel tips
Get the most from your wellness experience.
Book hammam experiences at least a day in advance for better time slots; evenings are most relaxing
The authentic hammam experience involves a kese (scrub) - wear comfortable underwear you don't mind getting wet
Many 5-star hotels allow non-guests to use spa facilities for a day rate, offering excellent value
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) are ideal for wellness stays as temperatures are comfortable
Antalya's mountain spring water and Mediterranean diet are natural wellness assets; drink local mineral water
The combination of sea swimming, fresh Mediterranean food, and daily hammam is one of the healthiest travel routines
