6 Hammams & Turkish Baths in Athens That You Shouldn't Miss
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

I never had a message if this kind before, since from my knowledge, nothing this authentic is offered in the United States. I was a bit nervous since I get a bit ticklish, but this experience was amazing! When me and my friend walked in, the staff was welcoming and served us tea, water and snacks. The place was beautiful and incredibly clean. Our wait was not long at all, and we then changed into our swimsuits and had a locker to put our stuff. The massage itself was AMAZING! The staff had great communication, and were very professional. I was initially afraid I would get ticklish, but because they massage you with water and bubbles, I feel there was less friction and I was not ticklish at all, which made it super enjoyable. It’s a whole body message, and they wash your hair too, which was awesome! They also provide a blow dryer, lotion, hair brushes, hair gel, etc., to style your hair after which was great! Overall HIGHLY recommend!! If anyone plans to go to Greece, you definitely have to try this!

Lovely place for Hammam. Very clean and professional therapists and staff. Ritual Hammam was such an unique experience and I felt so clean afterwards! Make sure you are hydrated before. Recommended 45 min hot oil massage for anyone who wants to relax deeply! Roobios tea and dates afterwards was a nice touch!

I don't think I would book a traditional hammam here. As other reviewers have noted, the experience would be like sitting in a steam room, essentially. But the "Ali Mama" Hammam treatment was superb. This was my second time and it was even better than the first. Chris was truly a magician with his hands. I feel completely rejuvenated and the body kinks are all out!
