A Turkish bath, also known as a hamam, is comparable to a Scandinavian sauna but more akin to a Roman bath. It works on the same principles as a steambath, except instead of steam, it focuses on water and a washing session with a ‘kese’ a scrubbing mitt. Most hammams provide a variety of services, and you must decide which ones to use right away. A classic Turkish bath package includes around 45 minutes of washing, traditional body scrubbing with a kese, a foam wash, and a massage. The spas in Kalkan also offers many other services such as just massage packages, face treatments, steam rooms and much more.

Arcadia Spa is a great establishment with a professional team to give you a great Turkish hammam experience or to choose a massage treatment.

There are also many hair dressers and barber shops in Kalkan, usually much cheaper than the prices in the UK, it is always a good idea to get a hair cut, shave or a mani and pedi during the holidays in Kalkan.

Some recommendations, Chic Hairdresser or Dila Hairdresser for both hair and nails both located in the old town, Sweeney Todd’s Barber shop for men.
