Zeyrek is a quiet historic neighbourhood in Fatih, on the slope facing the Golden Horn between Süleymaniye and Unkapanı. Its best-known landmark is the Molla Zeyrek Mosque, a former Byzantine monastery church of the Pantokrator. We list two hamams here, Zeyrek Çinili Hamam and Hizirbey Hamam 1458, so it works as a side option next to the Laleli-Beyazıt-Çemberlitaş area. It suits visitors who want a traditional bath in a residential old quarter, away from the busiest tourist streets.
