Before diving into the details of the Cappadocia Turkish Bath and Spa packages, let's provide a brief historical overview of Turkish baths. Known as Hamam, the Turkish bath is similar to the Scandinavian sauna but bears a closer resemblance to the Roman bath. While based on the same principles as a steam bath, it focuses on water instead of steam. The Turkish bath remains an essential part of Turkish culture, serving as a place for both cleansing and relaxation.
Though bathing is considered a private activity today, public baths were significant social institutions in Middle Eastern cities for decades before modern plumbing. Hammams played a vital role in promoting hygiene and public health and served as gathering places for relaxation and social interaction. Influenced by their faith, the Ottomans followed specific hygiene regulations, viewing bathing as a cleansing practice performed before prayer.
Consequently, many modern Hammams are located near mosques. Traditional Hammams have separate sections for men and women, though both genders follow similar bathing rituals.
