Turkish Bath (Hammam) at Cender Hotel, Antalya

When visiting Turkey, a must-have experience is a trip to a Hammam or Turkish Bath. In the past, these baths served as a gathering place for ceremonies, socializing, and gossip, while also offering a cleansing ritual. Today, you can enjoy this tradition by moving through a series of rooms, such as the camekan and hararet, and donning a pestamal, a fringed towel. You can relax in warm or hot rooms and receive a thorough massage.

The Turkish Bath not only provides relaxation but also offers numerous benefits. Through scrubbing and bubble wash, it effectively removes dead skin cells, allowing your skin to breathe by cleansing your pores and enhancing blood circulation. Additionally, it efficiently stimulates the heart and cardiovascular system. Moreover, it can aid in preventing coughs and sneezes, as well as alleviate symptoms of rheumatism and cellulite. For optimal results, it is advisable to have a Turkish bath at the beginning of your vacation, before sunbathing, as it can contribute to a better and longer-lasting tan!

The Turkish Bath were predominantly constructed during the Ottoman period and can now be found in almost every hotel in Turkey, including the Cender Hotel. Located at the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, Cender Hotel offers stunning views from the cliff's edge. With 156 rooms showcasing panoramic vistas of the sea, cityscape, and nature's beauty, Cender Hotel Antalya is conveniently positioned for exploring the city.
