With some trepidation I entered the doorway marked by a bold sign announcing this was one of the “1,000 Places To See Before You Die”. While visiting an authentic Turkish Hamam was definitely on my bucket list, nevertheless having heard stories of brawny masseurs, and having no facility in the Turkish language, I wondered if I would survive this adventure with bones intact. Not to worry, while the Hamam has a long history of aggressive treatment inOttoman culture, its current clientele consists mainly of international tourists looking for an authentic “Turkish” experience and bone crunching is definitely no longer in fashion.
