Hamam


This is part of the Eski Kaplica (old spa baths) in Çekirge. The baths were originally built by Murat I Sultan in the late 14th Century. They have been restored and are very nice inside.

Çekirge has thermal springs and the baths here use the hot mineral water straight from the ground (my book says it comes out of the ground at around 45ºC / 113ºF).
