"Classic Turkish hammam, massage, treatments and spa" (with) Guide
In fact: the driver was 50 minutes late, which is why our program was cut for that time. In general, this is a plus, since there was not the slightest desire to be there. The photographer, who behaved like a host, didn't know anything and answered everything with "I'm a photographer." The bath attendants are two guys 18 years old, classic cattle) the cost was $ 20 per person, although the reviews show that there were cheaper offers.
Dirty, cold, very fast, all programs except massage and a Russian-speaking masseuse are a pleasant woman, a good massage and did not sell anything. Although another masseur told my friend, "your calves are clogged, let's fix it for $15," which, of course, is nonsense. We do not recommend 100% - it is better without a bath at all than with such a
Our guide recommended a SPA with massage, from anecdotes. My daughter and I were very trusting and didn't even read the reviews. The cost is $ 20 per person (2000 rubles each) Transfer to and from.
The transfer was 25 minutes late. but these are small things. Everything happens.
They brought it to the Sultan.
We were greeted by a pleasant receptionist. You can't take your phone with you…
They were escorted to the locker room, and there were cameras there!!! We only saw it at the end.
They don't give out swimsuits, towels or a bathrobe or any kind of rag. The rooms are very cool. A man accompanies you everywhere.
1. Salt room: there is no salt in the bowl. They offered to wipe off the floor with salt...🤔
Then the photographer came in and took a couple of photos…
2. We were invited to a small Hammam: icy stone benches, steam turned on after about five minutes ... there is a pipe in the center.. I blew a little.. We are almost frozen…
3. Sauna. We went in, it smelled like a cat's toilet… it's very dirty and the benches / boards are layered and they have a layer of pieces of keratinized skin or something else, I don't know ... but at least it's warm, they kind of warmed up ... they stood, they didn't dare to sit down ..
3. The mud room is the highlight of the program!))) you go into mud slush, ankle-deep ... there are some pebbles and particles at the bottom ... and you need to pick out dry dirt / clay from the "bath", moisten it in a puddle at the bottom and spread it on yourself ... at this moment I already wanted to leave faster…
And it's very cold and quiet... no music, no people, just the photographer who took us and took pictures... the feeling is not pleasant… that's putting it mildly.
4. The soap massage was standard. The M and Z masters have worked well. Finally, we were given two rags for the body and shoulders.
They brought us to the recreation area and gave us a shabby menu covered with duct tape and glued price tags... the cost:
- $ 5 coffee is 500 rubles,
- ice cream "Magnate" (on a stick of 70 grams is required) $ 10 is 1000 rubles.
We laughed of course)))
We thought that was it and wanted to go home... but it turned out that an oil massage was also waiting for us.
My daughter and I were taken at the same time. In different offices.
After 10-15 minutes. the masseur invited an interpreter, who told me that I have 4-5 vertebrae in my lower back and it is very dangerous, it can pinch the sciatic nerve and the thoracic region is very clogged ... and I need to buy another therapeutic massage from them for $ 30....!))
It turned out that my daughter was told word for word)))) I think at least they would change their pseudo diagnoses ...)))) you can't say the same thing so stupidly without creativity... but I am a massage master myself and it just became funny to me. Just nonsense! Stop the session!!! To talk nonsense and wiring ... The masseur did not squeeze anything for me, just smeared it with oil and told me about the disease invented, just to squeeze out money ... like we are stupid sheep for them and they drive us to the stall ... even unpleasant…
In general, for 2000 rubles... I did not expect anything cool. But this is a complete mess!
In general, as someone already wrote below, you read reviews after, not before. I strongly do not recommend it!!!)
We were in the hammam for the first time. We took it from the guide for $ 25.
In principle, we liked everything. We didn't have strong expectations. The program included: salt, steam, mud rooms, sauna, swimming pool, hammam and massage. Everything looks clean, I didn't notice any mold. The mud and salt rooms are cool, but I'm not a fan of the heat either, so I was comfortable.
Massage for 20 minutes. There you will be offered some services. I was told that I have lymph stagnation and need to do lymphatic drainage, but before my vacation I just had a lymphatic drainage massage from a trusted masseuse, who did not see any problems with my lymph) But I did not notice the most obvious thing in my body - problems with my back and neck
The young man also had back problems, although he could not have them.
In general, we don't know what a hammam should ideally look like, but we liked the way it is presented in this place
