Cağaloğlu

The big event of Thursday, September 7th was a trip to a Turkish hamam: Cağaloğlu! (Try saying this... the soft 'g's are essentially silent.) This particular Turkish bath made into a book listing 100 things to do before you die! Hmmm... Although I generally enjoyed my Korean bath/scrub/massage and sauna more, the age, atmosphere and history of the actual hamam is superior to any other public bath houses I have been elsewhere - it even came complete with centuries of mold! The photo below is from Cağaloğlu's own website. Click HERE to visit their flashy flash site.
