Hızırbey Hamamı

Istanbul’s First Public Bath Since 1458

Commissioned in 1458 by Hızır Bey—the first Mayor and Judge of Istanbul appointed by Sultan Mehmed II—this historical gem is more than just a bathhouse; it is a masterpiece of public service. Known for the legendary Cisterna Votorum (Cistern of Wishes) hidden within its depths, Hızırbey Hamamı offers a unique, inclusive, and authentic atmosphere. Unlike the exclusive palace baths, Hızırbey was built for the people, maintaining its welcoming spirit for over five centuries.

Ritual: Warm-up in sauna and steam room, scrub, full body clay mask, and purifying foam massage. This preparation time in the Turkish bath, sauna, and steam room softens your body, opens your pores, and prepares your skin for deep cleansing. It's a calm warm-up period that makes each stage of the ritual more effective. First, your skin is cleansed of dead skin cells with a 10-minute traditional scrub. Then, a detoxifying natural clay mask is applied to your entire body and left to relax for about 10 minutes; this helps the clay draw out excess toxins from your body. The ritual continues with a 15-minute luxurious foam massage that cleanses the clay. The process is completed with final rinses and hair washing (5 min).
