    Cagaloglu Hammam

    Cağaloğlu Hamamı is one of Istanbul's most famous historic Turkish baths. Built in 1741 during the reign of Sultan Mahmud I, it is located in the Old City, not far from Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern.

    The hamam is known for its impressive Ottoman architecture, with marble interiors, domed ceilings and traditional bathing rooms. Visitors can choose from a range of treatments, including Turkish body scrubs, foam massages and more elaborate spa packages.

    Cağaloğlu has welcomed numerous famous visitors over the years, including John Travolta, Cameron Diaz and Kate Moss.

    The hamam has separate bathing sections for men and women, with male attendants serving male guests. It is a traditional public bath rather than a dedicated gay sauna or cruising venue. Advance reservations are recommended.

    Traditional hamam

    Good and very traditional hamam for male and female. Got oil massage, mud and foam treatment. Clean place and very organised. Great old place where you can feel how it was in the good old days.

    Asian Gay traveler

    It is not gay but there are plenty of action if desired. Lots of eye contact and men will follow you and look for trouble so you don't have to do any work and let the body language speaks for you. Got it done a met a real nice young Turkish Physician who gave me a nice exam.

    AMAZING!!!

    This was the highlight of our trip. It is not a gay venue, but stunningly beautiful, clean, well-priced. We did package 4 (79 euros) and it was worth it for the various massages and pampering. They had photos of previous celebrity visitors (Oprah, John Travolta, Cameron Diaz). I wish we had the time to go back. 5 stars all the way!

    Not gay at all

    I dont know how can be this sauna un gay place. There were about 8 children in the pool, screaming and jumping like a pool party for children making too much noise with their father.
