Kemer Turkish Hamam

Where the hamam fits in a Kemer holiday

Kemer is a resort coast — hotel complexes along the water, pebble beaches, pine, and the Taurus mountains behind all of it. A week there is mostly the sea and the hotel. The hamam is the part of it that is neither, and going does not cost you a day: 2.5 to 3 hours door to door, both drives inside that.

Children aged 4–10 pay €12.50 — half the adult fare — and under-3s are free. The massage stages are designed for adults, so tell us the ages when you book: the hamam sets the session up for a child rather than running them through the adult one, and a parent stays with them throughout. The children's page is specific about which stages work for a child and which do not.

Where we collect you in Kemer

Kemer itself, Beldibi, Göynük, Kiriş, Çamyuva and Tekirova. All six are inside the included round-trip transfer, in an air-conditioned vehicle that may carry other guests being collected for the same session.

These are six separate resort areas strung down one coast rather than districts of a single town, so we collect hotel by hotel. Tell us your hotel and room number when you book; the pickup time is confirmed with you before the day rather than printed on a page that cannot know where you are staying.

What the €25 actually buys

The whole sequence, not an entrance ticket: sauna, steam room, the heated marble, a full kese body scrub, the foam wash and foam massage, and a relaxing oil and aroma massage to finish. A peştemal, a towel and slippers are given to you, local insurance is included, and the transfer runs both ways.

Kemer is €25, the same fare as Belek and Antalya, while Side and Alanya are €20. The programme is identical in every region; what differs is the driving, and it is already inside the fare rather than waiting as a transfer line at the end of the booking form.

What happens once you are there

You change, and you are given a peştemal and slippers. Sauna and steam room first, then the heated marble, where an attendant goes over you with the kese mitt — the coarse glove that does the exfoliating. Then the foam wash and foam massage, then the relaxing oil and aroma massage, then a rinse, a shower and the drive back to the hotel. The kese and the foam wash are what distinguish a Turkish bath from a sauna or a steam room.

The order of the stages and how long each one runs vary by hamam and by how busy the session is, so take that as the shape of the session rather than a timetable. The step-by-step guide walks through the whole thing, and what to wear answers the question that comes up first: you keep your swimwear on throughout.

What is not in the price, and where you pay

Not included: drinks and herbal teas, extended or upgraded massage packages, clay and aroma masks, facial treatments, photo and video service, and tips. Every one of those is genuinely offered at the hamam and every one is paid there. We print no figures for them because we have no verified price list — ask at the desk before you agree to anything, and nothing will surprise you.

Nothing is charged online either. You reserve free of charge, we confirm the booking and the pickup time with you beforehand, you pay at the hamam on the day, and cancelling is free up to 24 hours before your session.

One warning: the session is heat, steam and water from beginning to end, and it is not recommended for guests with heart or circulatory conditions, guests who are pregnant, or anyone who does not cope well with heat and humidity. The health page sets out the rest of it plainly.
