Best Spas and Hamams in Yenikapi
Yenikapi sits on the Marmara shore of the historic peninsula, next to Aksaray and Kumkapi and close to Haseki and Findikzade. The spa and hamam choice here is small: the guide lists Valens Spa & Hamam in this district, so for a wider range it makes sense to look at neighbouring Laleli and Beyazit. Yenikapi is above all a transport hub, so it is easy to reach from both sides of the city by Marmaray and the M2 metro. It suits visitors who want a hamam or massage in the Old City and can make one change to get there.
