maybe you have heard before maybe not. if you didn't hear, be sure, you should know that "what the meaning of hamam" is.
I was born in eskişehir which is in the middle of turkey. eskişehir has different kinds of hamams. even there is a one street called "hamam street". water which boils under the ground, is pure and health-giving. some people who haven't experience about hamam, can think that hamam is just a bath. I have to say that they are completely wrong. hamam is a ritual.
when you go to hamam one day in istanbul(or another cities in turkey), firstly be sure that you have enough time for that. you don't have to carry somethings about bath(towel, shampoo..etc). the staff who is working in hamam, gives things what do you need. generally, all hamams have some kind of marble platform which is in the middle of hamam. the platform is hot and smooth. lie to there..enjoy that for a while..of course after twenty minutes you will become sweat.don't to care because it's good thing for your skin. in this way, your skin will be purified from toxins. and then if you want you can do peeling on your skin with some special cloth. and then you will need to get rest. I should remind you, drink water during that time. You know, your body will be loosing water during the time.
and then to jump to swimming pool which has hot natural spring water :) don't move too much in the pool because it can be dangereous as I said the water is hot. after maximum ten minutes staying in the pool, if you are brave, you can jump to an other swimming pool which has cold(really cold) water :) this is so healty for your blood circulation. of course just stay in ten second.
and now if you want you can take a simple shower. after all of these, probably the best of part is; drinking herbal tea with lemon in your bathrobe while you are lying on day bed..
so what do you think. it sounds good? try it ;)
