Şişhane is a small district on the European shore of the Golden Horn, between Galata, Pera and Kasımpaşa. The name comes from a glassworks once located here (şişe means bottle or glass). It sits close to the Galata Tower and Istiklal Street but is quieter than the main tourist areas. The listings here include 15 places: hammams, some inside hotels, and massage studios. It suits travelers staying in Beyoğlu who would rather not cross to the Old City for a bath. If you are based in Laleli, Beyazıt, Sultanahmet or Çemberlitaş, the metro makes the trip easy. Each venue's page gives its own prices, with the date they were recorded, and its house rules.
| Hamam packages | 45–165 EUR | 16 |
