The Baths of Hızır Bey are a bathhouse located in Bafra, Samsun Province, Turkey, with thermal water around 40°C. The site offers a steam room, marble slab, kessa scrub, beldi soap and massage, for a traditional relaxation experience.

Insider tip — Bafra on the Black Sea coast sits at the mouth of the Kızılırmak (Red River) — Turkey's longest river, whose delta is one of the country's most important wetland bird sanctuaries. The Baths of Hızır Bey serve a tobacco-growing city in the fertile Bafra plain, where Pontic Greek civilization thrived for 2,500 years until the 1923 population exchange, and where the Ottoman hammam tradition was woven into a Black Sea coastal culture of fishing, agriculture, and ancient maritime trade.
