Wellness travel tips

Get the most from your wellness experience.

Tip

The hammam is a fully clothed-to-undressed experience — a peştemal (linen wrap) is provided at the entrance and worn throughout.

Tip

Drink water before and after the hammam — the heat is dehydrating.

Tip

The Tokat hamam is separated by gender (separate chambers or time slots) — check with the attendant on arrival for current schedule.

Tip

For the Zile thermal springs, bring a swimsuit; the pools are mixed-gender.

Tip

The Ballıca Cave (12°C) provides a refreshing cold air wellness break in summer heat.

Tip

Local herbal teas (ıhlamur / linden blossom, nane / mint) are widely available and make excellent natural relaxants.
