About

On a crowded street, a small stone passage leads to this hidden gem. Step inside, and you'll discover an old Turkish Bath (hamam) that has not been used for a long time. The sound of every step echoes within the empty space as you walk through this historical building alone. Nearby, a tea server boils delicious black tea to serve to the crowds passing through the local shops.
