The Karabey Baths are a traditional Ottoman hammam in Uluborlu District, Isparta Province in the western Taurus mountain region of southwestern Turkey. Uluborlu, known in antiquity as Sozopolis, is a historic town whose Ottoman heritage includes a small but well-preserved collection of traditional architecture, and the Karabey hammam served the local community across the Ottoman period as a center of hygiene and social gathering. The name Karabey suggests the foundation was associated with a local notable or military commander whose patronage sustained this important civic facility.
Insider tip — Karabey Hammam (of the dark bey) in the Isparta/Afyonkarahisar region, on the edge of the Pisidian lakes and the thermal plateaus. The region is dotted with thermal springs (Afyon/Sandıklı, Dinar) and Roman remains. 'Karabey' is a noble Ottoman epithet associated with a military leader of a dark but respected reputation.
