Hamam

Well, the ritual is simple. You will find yourself in the warm Hamam ,a room filled with the sound of splashing water, the scent of soap, and wafting steam through which daily concerns and worries cannot penetrate. In the gentle moist heat your body relaxes, and your nerves are soothed. You sit down at one of the marble wash basins which line the walls, and adjusting the temperature of the water to a delicious warmth, dip the copper bathing bowl into the basin and tip the water over your head and body. Waves of relaxation seem to pour right through you as the water envelops your body.

Laying on the warm stone in the center of the room, your attendant will pour hot water on you and begin to scrub every square inch of your body. Basically, every millimeter of dead and dirty skin is scrubbed off, even the skin between your fingers and toes.Then you are given fresh towels and again brought to Sogukluk (the cool room) to rest, dry off and marvel at your glowing, soft as a baby’s skin.

Hodja Pasha Dervish Show Istanbul

Near the mighty Hagia Sophia Basilica and the magnificent Topkapi Palace, Hodjapsha Cultural Center is a delightful piece of the city’s striking cultural mosaic. Transformed from a large 15th-century hamam (Turkish bath), it now welcomes visitors under its high dome ceilings to showcase some of the best of this vast country’s traditions.

Watch the mystical ritual of the Mevlevi Order, whose whirling dance has been declared a UNESCO Heritage
of Humanity. The Sema ceremony is a journey through man’s spiritual ascent to “perfection” through mind and love-a truly unmissable and astonishing experience of music and moves.

Fantastic 2day guided tour in Istanbul Our first visit to Istanbul, Turkey was made memorable by our wonderful tour guide, Neşe Yanik. She provided us with well researched information and took us to all the destinations we needed to go to. She went out of her way to make us comfortable, to see to it that we would experience everything Istanbul has to offer. An added bonus is that she grew up in the old district of Istanbul and knows a lot of people. An advantage of having a guided tour is that one skips most of the queue's. 😁😁

Istanbul Tour Tourguide Nese Yanik has been guiding for 19yrs in the city she grew up in. Our group of 3 friends couldn't ask for better. She took us to all the best tourist and more intimate spots over 2 days and we got a very positive feeling for the city and its people.
