The VIP Turkish bath day tour from Marmaris is a slow, pampering escape built around the centuries-old hammam tradition, with every step of the treatment included. This daily excursion starts with a transfer from your hotel to one of the town's most respected hammams and finishes with a ride back to your accommodation, leaving you free to switch off completely in between.
Arriving in Marmaris on a cruise ship? The VIP Turkish Bath Day Tour is one of the shore excursions we regularly arrange for cruise guests calling at the port of Marmaris. Because it runs as a private tour, we plan the timing around your ship: your guide and driver meet you at the cruise terminal, and the programme is adjusted to your all-aboard time. Tell us how many hours your ship stays in port and we will confirm that the full programme fits comfortably. Send us your ship name and the date of your call in Marmaris and we will confirm availability.
The Turkish hammam descends from Roman and Byzantine bathhouses and became a central part of Ottoman social life, a place where people came not only to wash but to rest, talk and celebrate. The ritual has hardly changed: warmth first, then a vigorous scrub with a coarse mitt known as a kese to remove dead skin and boost circulation, and finally a cloud of soap foam massaged over the body. The VIP version adds a face mask, an aromatherapy massage with scented oils, and dedicated care for the hair and feet, making it one of the most complete wellness experiences you can enjoy in Marmaris.
On arrival you are given a private locker key and a large, soft towel to use throughout the visit. The fish therapy at the end, in which tiny fish nibble away dry skin as you rest your feet in the water, tends to cause plenty of laughter, especially for ticklish guests. This daily tour is a lovely choice for a rest day between boat trips and beach time, and a relaxing Marmaris day trip for couples and friends. Additional massages and personal purchases at the hammam are not included.

Marmaris VIP Hammam Programme The experience begins with a complimentary pickup from your hotel and a short, comfortable drive to one of the best-known hammams in Marmaris. A member of staff shows you to a spacious changing room, where you receive a personal locker key and a generous, soft towel to use throughout your visit. You start in the sauna, which warms the body and opens the pores so that everything that follows works more effectively. Next comes the traditional scrub massage, which lifts away dead skin cells and stimulates circulation, followed by a generous foam massage that leaves the skin deeply cleansed and soft. A therapist then applies a refreshing mask to your face before you move on to a 30-minute aromatherapy massage with fragrant oils, a real treat for the senses. The programme continues with a nourishing hair treatment that helps restore shine and softness, and a foot therapy session. The finale is fish therapy, where you dip your feet into a pool and small fish gently remove dry skin, usually to a chorus of giggles. Once the ritual is complete, our driver brings you back to your accommodation in Marmaris at no extra charge.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
