Efendi Hammam wellness experience – Athens

Hammam is a timeless value as many centuries since its creation, still continues to be first in people's preferences and attracts all those who desire health and wellness along with a journey of all senses through time.

In the past, Turkish baths played an important role in shaping the culture as they were meeting points for social gatherings, body and soul purification, and relaxation but also pursued the practical cleansing needs because only a few homes had bath amenities.

The baths were the first buildings that the Ottoman Turks constructed in a city, as it was an important aspect of the everyday life of the inhabitants. Of course, the hammam was not discovered by the Ottomans as baths existed since Greek and Roman times and the Byzantine Empire.

Highlights:

• 30 min steam bath
• Bathing with black olive-clay soap
• Face mud Peeling
• Body scrub with the kesse glove
• Aromatherapy with full body and face massage with oil and essences in dry space for 60 min
• Traditional pastry, a glass of wine, and fresh juice

For many years, the tradition of the hammam was integrated into the multicultural mosaic of Greece and was essential in the everyday life of its citizens. Then the modernization and the Western lifestyle came and memories, values, and traditions faded dragging along the hammam too.

Today, the mentality of the hammam charms most people as it is an escape from everyday life. In Polis Hammam, you will find the traditional authentic marble hot room with the impressive dome, the polygonal marble bench, the carved basins with the running water, the traditional fountains, where the ritual of the Authentic Turkish bath takes place, along with all the traditional clothes and materials and of course, the necessary rest in the special room with the traditional tea, the Turkish delight, the spoon sweets, the fresh juices and... the hookahs.

We welcome you to a magic world, to an exquisite experience, an oasis of serenity, tranquility, and relaxation.
