Gedikpasa is a historic-peninsula neighbourhood in Fatih, between Cemberlitas and Kumkapi, within walking distance of the Grand Bazaar and Beyazit. Its name comes from Gedik Ahmed Pasha, and the old Gedikpasa Hamam is one of the district's landmarks. Most of the places we list here are traditional Turkish baths, and a hotel spa, AJWA Sultanahmet, is also nearby. It suits visitors who want a scrub, foam wash and massage after a day at the bazaar and the old city.
