Beautiful Istanbul & a Traditional Turkish Bath

Enjoy a Guided Walk of Old Istanbul and a Hammam Treatment Indulge your senses as you explore Istanbul on foot, then partake in a centuries-old Turkish tradition at a hammam. With your local guide, you will drive across the old Galata Bridge that spans the Golden Horn inlet. Magnificent views accompany you as you cross. In the Old City, stop in the Strawmat Weavers Market and gaze upon the facade of the 16th-century Rüstem Pasha Mosque. Follow your nose to the famous Spice Bazaar to browse its stalls for colorful exotic spices. You will also experience an unforgettable spa treatment at a traditional hammam. Leave your belongings in a locker, don a traditional cotton wrap and step into your male or female steam room. There, you will stretch out on a warm marble table and an attendant will exfoliate your skin, smother you in bubbles and escort you to a soaking bath dressed in a sarong. Later, return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
