Saturday

Taking a Turkish bath is similar to that of a sauna, but is more closely related to ancient Greek and ancient Roman bathing practices.

A person taking a Turkish bath first relaxes in the warm room that is heated by a continuous flow of hot, dry air allowing the bather to perspire freely. Bathers then move to an even hotter room (known as the hot room) before splashing themselves with cold water. After performing a full body wash and receiving a massage, bathers finally retire to the cooling-room for a period of relaxation.

HAMAM: Turkish Bath

never say good byeTurks believe that a cup of Turkish coffee shared, opens a friendship that lasts 40 years. Isn’t it so similar to the Rotary spirit?


hope to see you again soon.
