Yıldız Baths are located in Amasya, a northern Anatolian city known for its Ottoman houses overlooking the Yeşilırmak River. Water here reaches around 40°C, and the hammam offers a steam room, marble slab, kessa scrub, and massage.
Insider tip — Amasya is one of Turkey's most visually dramatic historic cities — a mountain gorge where Pontic royal tombs are cut directly into the cliff face above the Yeşilırmak River, Ottoman wooden houses line the riverside, and a Byzantine fortress crowns the summit. The Yıldız Baths serve a city whose beauty so impressed antiquity that Strabo the geographer was born here around 64 BC, and which the Ottomans designated the 'City of Princes' where crown princes were educated for three centuries.
