Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at your hotel in Side for pickup (pickup time arranged with operator). Enjoy a 2½-hour traditional Turkish bath and spa program: sauna, steam room, salt room, full-body peeling and foam massage, face mask, and a 20-minute oil massage. Return transfer to your hotel after the session.
Hotel pickup in Side
We collect guests from their hotel or residence in Side. Confirm pickup time with the operator when you book; recommended pickup window will be ~15–30 minutes before the selected hammam start time depending on hotel location.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm an exact pickup time and hotel meeting point at least 24 hours in advance; pickups run between 09:00–17:00.
- Have your room number and hotel phone available in case the driver needs to contact you.
- If you have mobility concerns, notify the operator ahead of time so the pickup can be arranged as close as possible to your hotel entrance.
Traditional Turkish Bath (Hamam) & Spa session
Arrive at the hammam for your guided spa program: sauna, steam room and salt room access; full-body peeling (exfoliation) and foam massage; face mask; followed by the included 20-minute oil massage. Towels and a peştemal are provided. After treatments, relax briefly in the lounge before transfer back to your hotel.
Tips from local experts:
- Peştemal and towel are provided — wear easy-to-change clothing under your clothes; bring flip-flops and a thin swimsuit if you prefer some coverage during communal areas.
- Leave valuables in your hotel or use the hammam's locker (if available) — carry only essentials in a small sealed pocket.
- Notify staff on arrival about medical conditions or pregnancy; the operator advises this experience is not recommended for pregnant guests or people with heart conditions.
Return transfer to hotel in Side
After the session there is a return transfer to your original pickup point or hotel. Guests are typically dropped back within 15–30 minutes after the hammam session finishes.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow 15–30 minutes after treatment before pickup to change and gather your belongings.
- If you plan other activities later in the day, schedule them from 17:00 or later to allow for change and transit.
- If you requested a specific drop-off address (different from pickup), confirm this with the operator when booking.
