Pir-u Pak is the complete foundation ritual. Every service listed below is included in the €40 price.

Hot Room Rest

From the moment you arrive, enjoy the warm marble floors of the hammam, the sauna and the steam room for as long as you like, before or after your treatment. This free time is separate from your 50-minute treatment, so you can set your own pace.

20 min. Traditional Scrub (Kese)

This cleansing technique uses a special natural-fibre glove called a kese. Part of Turkish hammam culture for centuries, and of Büyük Hamam since 1571, it gently removes dead skin and helps improve circulation.

20 min. Traditional Foam Wash

Pure soap is transformed into rich foam with a special cloth bag and applied gently over the whole body. After the scrub, the soft foam soothes and relaxes newly refreshed skin.

Cappadocia White Clay Face Mask

Sourced from Cappadocia's volcanic soil, this natural white clay absorbs excess oil and impurities from the pores while replenishing the skin with minerals.

Turkish Coffee & Tea

After your treatment, settle into our resting area with traditional Turkish coffee or tea for a peaceful final moment before you leave.
