More information on Kösk Hamam

The Kösk dates back to the 15th century. It's located a little way up the hill from Gülhane Park—a bit out of the way, but very easy to find. Its structure is slightly less grand than most of the city's hamams, but the amicable staff look after it well. Most of the clientèle are foreigners, mainly guests staying in the hotels nearby. One excellent reason to visit is, although it's usually a men-only establishment, it's possible to arrange after-hours soirées; so families or large groups can soak and steam together. This service includes male masseurs at a negotiable price.
