In which I go to a Turkish bathhouse that’s over 560 years old and get covered in foam. Was it relaxing? Weird? Unforgettable? All of the above. This episode is all about Ağa Hamamı (the oldest working Turkish bath in Istanbul) and why you should definitely make time for one, too.

Show Notes

• 🎥 YouTube Short: My Review Video of Ağa Hamamı (foam, heat, marble slabs — it's all here)
• 🕌 TRAVEL TIP: Visiting a Turkish bathhouse is a must-do in Istanbul. Get a package that includes a massage. 10/10, would steam again.
• 📍 TRAVEL TIP: Want a killer (& free) rooftop view of the city and Galata Tower? Check out Galata Konak Cafe. Here’s a Google Maps link.
• 🔭 TRAVEL TIP: Sometimes the best views aren’t from the top of the monument, but from nearby vistas. This applies worldwide.
• Oh, and here’s the website for Ağa Hamamı Bathhouse. Apparently it’s the oldest one in Istanbul that’s still functioning. Wow!
• SUPPORTERS: Stay tuned for some eye-popping photos of Istanbul at night, as well as a few photos I snuck of the interior of the bathhouse, coming on Wednesday to my Patreon, of course.
