Basilica Therma, also known under the names Terzili Hamam, Kral Hamamı, Kral Kızı Hamamı or Sarıkaya Roma Hamamı, is a public bathing establishment from the era of the Roman Empire located in the district of Sarıkaya, in the province of Yozgat, in Turkey. Built in the 2nd century, these baths still retain geothermal activity today.

Insider tip — Tarihi Sifa Hamami is a historic healing bathhouse in the Çanakkale region on the Dardanelles strait, an area famous for its role in the Gallipoli campaigns and as the mythological setting of the Trojan War. The hamam follows Ottoman bathing traditions with a domed central marble slab, heated side basins, and experienced tellaks who perform the vigorous kese exfoliation. Visitors combining a Gallipoli battlefield tour with a visit here often remark on the profound sense of continuity — bathing rituals in this region stretch back thousands of years across successive civilisations.
