Kesse Borek

A unique ritual from the Eastern Hamams, at Hamam Omerye. Traditional Ottoman foam massage, where every movement is an experiential journey.

The Touch
Of Foam

The experience begins with a stay in the warm, humid space of the bath, on the heated polygonal marble slab, in the cold, or on the bath floor for up to 20’ to activate circulation and remove toxins from the skin. The warmth of the hamam melts away all tension as the steam gently embraces your body, opening the pores and preparing your skin for ultimate renewal. Next, the therapist takes the lead with the special Kesse glove, and for 15’, your body undergoes a ritual exfoliation, with your skin being reborn, soft, fresh, and ready to breathe. The magic of the foam follows—a white, soft cloud that the therapist skilfully handles for 25’, transporting you to a world of tranquillity and rejuvenation.

The experience culminates with rinsing the body and hair with cold and hot water, leaving your skin radiant and clean. After this unique experience, where you become essentially “Borek” (meaning “layered pastry”), you can enjoy the serenity of the Oda and the courtyard with aromatic tea and Turkish delight.
