Üsküdar is an old district on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, directly across the strait from Sirkeci and Eminönü. It has Ottoman mosques from the age of Sinan, and the Maiden's Tower (Kız Kulesi) is visible from the waterfront. For visitors staying in Laleli, Beyazıt or Sultanahmet, a hamam here makes a reason to cross the water, and the area is calmer than the main tourist quarters of the Old City. Our listings for Üsküdar include traditional hamams such as Tarihi Üsküdar Şifa Hamamı and the women's Üsküdar Bayanlar Şifa Hamamı, independent massage therapists, and a few hotel spas. Prices and opening hours are on each venue's page, with the date they were checked. Nearby districts also in the guide include Beşiktaş, Altunizade, Taksim and Tophane.

2 venues on this list offer massage; some are massage-only, others combine it with a hamam. Durations and prices are listed with their date on each venue page.

From Aksaray, Marmaray is also reachable by going to Yenikapı.
