If you are stressed out tired, or want to have fun with
your friends at a place where time seems like have
stopped, try a Turkish Bath. The Romans had grapes in
one hand and wine in the other while they were enjoying
their baths 2,000 years ago. When you are in Rome do
like the Romans. When you are in Turkey, bath like the
Turks have for centuries. The process starts in the
"Hot" room. The Romans called it the caldarium, the
Turks call it the, just sit on the marble and pour water
over yourself. As you relax with the moderate heat (not
as hot as sauna) and water, it seems like it is only
natural to start singing. They say that any voice will
sound good under the dome of the Turkish bath. The
copper bowls with a little dimple in the middle will
clack on the marble once in a while. The sound will be
like a percussion in a badly conducted orchestra. But
soon you will be so relaxed even that sound will not
bother you. When the skin is softened enough you will
move to your next spot. The big marble set in the middle
of the bath is called the Navel Stone. Lay on it and let
your body be treated by the expert hands. You will be
scrubbed with a " kese." The dead skin will come out
like tootsie rolls. Then you will be soaped and
massaged. When the washing part is finished the pleasure
of being in the Turkish bath is not finished yet. You
will be wrapped in colorful Pestemals (Turkish Towel).
While you are sitting in the cold part of the bath, the
Frigidairium, you will be served tea to complete the
most relaxing experience in your life. You will smell
the clean smell of the olive oil soap and your skin will
fell like a baby when you leave the hundreds of years
old Turkish bath.
