Hamam's - also called Turkish and/or oriental steam baths, is a place where people can wash, relax and socialize. The Hamam developed from the bathhouses and thermal baths of the Roman and Byzantine Empires. A traditional Hamam consists of three rooms connected to each other: a hot room (caldarium), a warm room (tepidarium) and a cool room (frigidarium). The hot room, the steam room, is for sweating in the steam and for undergoing scrub and foam massages. The hot room is used for washing with soap and water. The cool room, the current relaxation room, is there for relaxing, getting dressed, having a refreshing drink and taking a nap after the massage.
