"Turkish Baths
Turkish baths can directly trace their creation to the Roman empire and still offer an invigorating way to unwind.
Known as hammam in Turkish, the Ottoman empire first created the baths after its conquest of former Roman cities such as Alexandria and Constantinople and readily adopted the practice. Being a Muslim nation at the time, followers are obliged to keep themselves washed and clean so baths were an important way to fulfil this."
