TURKISH DELIGHT
The Sentinel
|November 06, 2025
I SPENT time in Turkey recently, and while I was there I booked myself in for a traditional hammam. Refreshed and rejuvenated, afterwards I felt incredible. And I realised something... it would be so easy to recreate at home.
WHAT IS A HAMMAM?
A hammam, or Turkish bath, is a ritual hailing from the Middle East and North Africa dating back to the Roman and Byzantine eras. It involves a sequence of steam, exfoliation and massage with the aim of promoting physical and mental cleansing and relaxation.
HOW IS IT DONE TRADITIONALLY?
This story is from the November 06, 2025 edition of The Sentinel.
