GEDIKPAŞA HAMAMI ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; % 0212-517 8956; www.gedikpasahamami.com; Emin Sinan Hamamı Sokak 61, Gedikpaşa; bath, scrub & soap massage ₺ 80; h 6am-midnight; j Çemberlitaş) This Ottoman-era hamam has been operating since 1475. Its shabby interior isn’t as beautiful as those at Çemberlitaş and Cağaloğlu, but services are cheaper and there are separate hamams, small dipping pools and saunas for both sexes. The operators will sometimes transport guests to and from Sultanahmet hotels at no charge – ask your hotel to investigate this option.
