Samatya is an old neighbourhood on Fatih's Marmara shore, known for its historic Greek and Armenian churches, fish restaurants along the waterfront and narrow residential streets. It sits away from the main tourist area and feels like a quiet local district. The only place we list here is Hacı Kadın Hamamı, one of the area's traditional bathhouses; there are no large hotel spas in this listing. It suits visitors staying in Laleli, Beyazıt or Sultanahmet who want a neighbourhood hamam away from the crowds.
