Fodor's Expert Review Cağaloğlu Hamamı
Housed in a magnificent building dating from 1741, the Cağaloğlu Hamamı has long been considered one of the best in Istanbul. Florence Nightingale and Kaiser Wilhelm II once steamed here, and the clientele has remained generally upscale. Prices are on the high side, starting at about €50 (about 750 TL) for a self-service visit; if you want both a scrub and a massage from an attendant, it'll cost you about €70 (about 1050 TL). Consider going the self-service route, so you can relax at your own pace.
