Turkish Baths A Light Unto a Tradition And Culture A Guide to the Historic Turkish Baths of Istanbul

I think this is a very good book on the subject, because it not only provides a historical introduction to Turkish baths, but it is also a practical guide. I liked the comprehensiveness of the introduction, because it is easy and very interesting to read. It's not like a history book. You can actually feel the author's love of the subject. And it turned out to be a reliable guide as well. I was in Istanbul last week and bought the book on recommendation of a friend. I was absolutely delighted to have discovered a non-touristic 17th century Turkish bath in the Sariyer district of Istanbul, thanks to this guide. I well impressed my friends with my knowledge of the subject as well, I think! And I just love the pictures.Yilmazkaya, Orhan is the author of 'Turkish Baths A Light Unto a Tradition And Culture A Guide to the Historic Turkish Baths of Istanbul' with ISBN 9789756663806 and ISBN 9756663804.
