Make the most of your visit

A little knowledge. A more relaxed visit.

A little preparation makes your first hammam visit easier. The most useful step is to ask your chosen bath what it supplies and what clothing it expects. This checklist helps you plan a visit to Amethyst Turkish Bath without assuming that every item is included in every package.

Your practical packing checklist

  • A change of clothes for after the bath.
  • Your preferred swimwear or bathing clothing, after checking the venue’s requirements.
  • Non-slip footwear suitable for wet areas, if the venue asks you to bring it.
  • Personal toiletries you want to use after the treatment.
  • Your booking confirmation and an agreed payment method.

Leave unnecessary valuables behind where practical. Ask the team what changing and storage arrangements are available.

Ask what the bath provides

Confirm whether towels, a pestemal wrap, slippers, a kese glove and soap are supplied. Also ask whether any items are charged separately or may be brought from home. A kese is the exfoliating glove used for the scrub; a pestemal is a lightweight woven wrap.

For Amethyst, contact the team before your appointment to confirm the items included in your chosen package.
