Turkish Bath Guide

Firuzaga Hammam

Cukurcuma Cad, No: 6 Beyoglu, Istanbul
07:00 - 23:30

A small historical bath house in Beyoglu can be the one most recommended if you want to see the local ambiance. Majority of the visitors are hairy men around 30-50's, though different types and ages can also be seen including many gay tourists. It is located at one end of Cukurcuma street which is famous with the antique shops. If you are coming from Taksim / Beyoglu the best way is to reach there is by walking down Yeni Carsi street from Galatasaray Square , which is the middle of famous pedestrianized street, Istiklal. If you are coming from old city / Sultanahmet, take the tramcar, get off at Tophane station, walk upward some 450 meters along Bogazkesen street and turn right into Cukurcuma street. You will be there in 5-10 minutes.

Errico Lattero "A 45-minute massage was done really well and professionally. The staff was friendly and the prices were very fair. For two of us, we spent €55 for two massages and three hours in the sauna and Turkish bath. It's a lot of fun if you want it. I recommend it."  (Google /March 2026)

Gabriele Cazzola "The place was welcoming and clean, very recommended for young men. I would say 50% of people was local, while the rest were tourists. Fair price and nice architecture (blue marble and domes) have made the experience very unique. " (Google /March 2026)

Arda Okcu "Don’t expect a cruising sauna like in Berlin, Amsterdam or Paris. It is really dirty, old and insecure. They accept only cash. The entrance fee is 500 TRY ($11), January 2026. There are a big bath areas, showers, WCs, sauna and a steam room. If you want an oriental experience, you might visit it with very low expectations."  (Google /Jan 2026)

Shafique "Went with reviews & recommendation. Was exactly as everyone said… not modern but this is the experience of a local hamam with locals and some tourists. Prices as listed on the board- 650 TL ($15)  for massage, 200 for scrub and peel, 200 for foam massage to clean off oil, 400 TL ($9) entrance. Paid 1400 at the end of it all. My attendant and masseuse was Yasin.. a handsome gentleman with some English guided me every step and pampered me. He has magic hands and didn’t offer anything extra, which is fine. Met a few gay tourists from around the world briefly. Decor old and needs refurbishing. Otherwise marble is clean and washed after every session for next customers. Lots of water used… Overall a wonderful experience.. " (Google /Dec 2025)

JJ G "Istanbul has very few LGBTQ-friendly places and so I was happy to find this hammam. Prices are reasonable with entrance at TL400 ($9), a foam scrub at TL250 and an oil massage at TL450 ($11). The service, though, was perfunctory and so I only did the scrub and massage once. I went twice, both on weekdays, and there was much "socializing" in the two saunas. If you are in Istanbul, do drop by!" (Google /Nov 2025)

José "I had a great experience in this hammam. I paid 1450 TRL (apprx $35) for the full package: entry fee, scrub massage, oil massage and foam massage. YASIN took care of me in all the sessions and I really appreciated it, because he is kind, respectful and very professional. After the treatment, I spent a couple of hours in the hammam, and enjoyed the dry sauna, the steam room, and the washing and relaxing areas. I was well taken care of by all the members of the staff, with several towels, free tea, and much kindness. I strongly recommend." (Google / Nov 2025)
