Turkish Bath is a huge part of the Islamic culture. Hamams have been around for over 1000 years and this time I went to a local cheap Hamam for a rough Turkish bath experience in Istanbul.

do not misunderstand culture and islamic teachings. hammam is no connection at all with Islam. 😅 Islam is Islam, culture is culture.
Islam is evil
Your skin looks amazing and you look several years younger and well rested in your face and eyes. definitely putting this on my travel bucket list
It is so relaxing and coming out of the hamam felt like being born again. Especially good if the hectic city adventures become tiring and it is like a wellness spa experience but even better. Thank you for your comment! 🙏 😊
dude you literally came out with a NEW skin! freakin glowing like u were being reborn, wicked!
We humans are touch starved in the modern world. I can see why you felt the intimate / connection part. Glad you enjoyed turkey buddy!
I’ve been to Türkiye many times and have experienced amazing days at the hamam … the feeling after …. heavenly bliss and squeaky clean after … and yes, a glass of Turkish tea … ends a wonderful experience ❤
One of the most amazing videos I've experienced and the most rewarding part is how genuinely grateful you are for having had the connection and the experience. Seeing pure joy in another person is one of life's gifts. Thank you!
Turkey is a beautiful country and beautiful people definitely Turkish foods.
I traveled around Turkey for 12 days in 2006 and had 4 hamam experiences in 3 different areas of the country (2 in Istanbul, 1 in Sirince and 1 in Goreme). They were all excellent. Next time you should try the foam massage. It is totally amazing too. The way your body feels after all of this is fantastic.
Can you tell the name of places for turkish bath?
@M S thanks for the info 👍🏻
Q
Years ago, I had one of the best hamam experiences in Bursa. The building was over 500 years old it was amazing just the history alone was enough after going through the ritual i took a nap for around 15 minutes in the cabin, then had my cup of tea near the fire place, then walked outside to snow i felt like a new born baby.
You looked 10 years younger after hamam!❤❤❤❤ Awesome!😊
@@VampireLibbyHodges probably did hehe
I use to go to the hamam every time when I'm visiting Turkey 🇹🇷 ❤️.
Wowzers, now that's an experience we've not seen first hand before, you could see your skin glowing at the end. Love your content, we always learn something new and interesting each vlog, thank you Joe.
Yes!!
We both felt like a new person after the experience!
Definitely will do it again 😀👍

I don't have the slightest idea how I watched all of yours 37 Türkiye videos at once. Very fluid and friendly. You traveled Turkey as it should be. Even many locals couldn't travel that way. I love the way you followed. I just love it. peace✌
Omg!
Haha.
I hope you enjoy the journey and 37 video at once 😂😂😂.
We send our best wishes from near Bursa 😀🙏
@@WildVikingTravels I did! Enjoy your journey!
I'm also vlogging Turkiye right now, but I haven't yet had a crazy hamam experience like this haha, good times! 😎
You changed your skin color, whitened, felt clean, have a good trip 🇹🇷🙃
Such a beautifull place, Turkish hamams, amazing love the videos keep up the good work
It was a really lovely experience!
I visited Istanbul in May this year and also tried the local hamam - scrub, foam and oil massage - fair price, super experience and loved it; I had to laugh because I also had the problem with old skin when I scrubbed (but not as much as you, me after a tan) and I'm not a Viking.... Warm greetings from the Czech Republic!!!
Haha.
Yep, I was extremely dirty to. Be honest 😅
Now I want to go to hammam😇
😃🇹🇷🤩
btw it's not islamic tradition to choose women in Hamam for their sons. It exists only in Turkish traditional and has nothing to do with the religion. It's a wrong information. I hope u have a great time in Turkey :)
There is no such thing in Turkish tradition.
@@furkanyalcn3720 var olm adı bile turkishbath
I was just about to come into the comments to point out the same thing.
It may be logical for a foreign individual to think of Türkiye as an Islamic culture thanks to the unfortunate and passive culturally appropriative image that the U.S. has labelled us with. I say this as a Turkish-Canadian who has experienced this countless times throughout my life growing up in a Western country as a first-gen. Perpetuating such an image to foreigners discredits the fact that we had a secularist revolution a century ago-one of the first revolutions of its kind. It also discredits the fact that since the constitutional amendment in 1928, Türkiye has had no official religion. In the mid-1920s, post-revolution, we opted towards wearing hats instead of fezzes and head coverings that represented the religious imperialism we wanted to free ourselves of. If you Google photos of us in that era, you’ll see us with our hair uncovered & wearing classic cloche hats and other fashions of the ‘20s-because as a secular society, we are given the freedom of choice not to be visibly Muslim or have the cultural elements that come with it. This sets us apart from other predominantly Islamic countries, and choosing to represent us as an Islamic society will only Arabize and Middle Easternize our culture in a way that it makes all Islamic countries seem like they’ve been lumped together as one race, one culture, and one ethnic category. Türkiye is not religiously fundamentalist. Furthermore, the Hamam concept originated from the Romans, and was not inherently religious. Other cultures then took that idea and modified it in the way that they all respectively wanted. The Turkish Hamam does not have religious undertones to it. It’s more of a place to simply decompress, freshen up, and have a good time. The fact that there are male Hamams and female Hamams is not gender apartheid-linked; it is rather for obvious reasons based on hygiene and privacy.
No hard feelings. I just hope I clarified a few things. I hope you have a wonderful time in Türkiye. 🙂
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Kanka temizlenmek için kadın seçmek için değil sen de dizilerden öğrenme hamam geleneğini, İslamiyetle daha da farklı bir hal almıştır önem bazından artmıştır temizlenmek emrolunduğundan
Sen iyi birisin kardeşim. Biz iyi insanları fark ederiz .👍🏽💙
I saw this being done in Turkey on another show. Looks like heaven. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure I could get used to that! I'm definitely pulling out my loofa sponge on my next shower, I bet my skin would do the same thing even though I use one of those net puffs every shower. You're a real sport. And the experiences, and memories you'll have are second to none.
That looked glorious. Wow lesson is keep away from the touristy hamams. Can't wait to see the female version, hope you do a video so I know what to do next year when I visit Turkiye.
You are a great story teller. I am glad you living such a great life!
Heyhey.
Thank you for the kind words 😁🙏.
Of course even this lifestyle comes with many sacrifices but I am glad with the choices I have made 😊.
Best wishes from Nepal
Travel everyplace in Türkiye bro if you can ! İts paradise on earth. Take care bro selam ✋
I will do my best 😀👍.
I like Türkiye a lot as well 😉
I swear hamam is one of the most relaxing experience
Totally agree!
The reason why lisu wasnt allowed is probably the lack of a "natır", the female version of the "tellak", Ahmet was a tellak. Its most likely due to women choosing to meet up in certain hamams in groups, some hamams dont get female clients so they dont need a natır
You and your wife good persons I mean in your hearts good. You are not like the other westerners who came to our country full of prejudice and hatred.But be carefull and look after yourself well.There is a lot of good people as well bad people. I do not want you to have bad experience in there so be carefull.Good luck to you in whole of your life.all the best my good hearted friends.
It’s crazy how much skin they scrap off !
That’s incredible.
People of European descent don't have as many layers of skin. People of African descent have an extra layer. Asian skin is probably somewhere in between. He bled because his skin is relatively thin. It has to be to maximize the effects of low UV light in ancestral region.
The way you do your job with grace - I'm so proud of you. Thanks for going through the trouble and it's really worth it. I've never witnessed such incredible editing. You have absolute power to overcome any situation or struggle and transform yourself into the strongest and most beautiful version of yourself ever. The secret to happiness is doing what you love and learning to love what you have to do to get it. Congratulations and good luck for your promising future. Keep doing the best. Good job, you are amazing, you are important, you are special, you are unique, and you are valuable! Never give up, move on, fight for your dreams, everything will get better for you, I wish you good luck. I really like your channel. You have my full support.
very good massage and sauna
Man, that Turkish culture is different.
That Turkish culture is different but this Turkish culture is not different
@@nikobellic8002What do you mean?
@@SaveThatMoney411 ilginç bende ne demek i istediğini anlamadım :)
Excellent experience. Free from fears and pre-concepts. Congrats!
I visit a Haman 3 years ago in Istanbul was my best birthday gift to me.
Wow yes!
It is just ultimate form of self care 🙏😁
I am Turk and my Family is living in Istambul. I have to say that NOT every Woman is covered in Türkiye.It´s up to them selfs to do that. Just wanted to make this one Clear :-) But happy to see you liked the Hamam :-)
😊👍
You had the cleanest blood bath ever 😅
Hahaha well said my friend! 👍
Honestly this looks incredible, I’d be there a lot if I could
You said everything … including happy ending 🔥
Hahh 😅 for sure.
He did make me happy 😁
Over the years, the times I took clients to a Turkish Bath in central Istanbul we only wore the towel.
How Can I learn to give this massage?
I’ve tried this, at first I feel embarrassed to be naked but it was so refreshing and I feel like a baby.
What an experience! But you always feel great after. On a side note, Kucukcekmece is where I grew up! So glad you got a chance to see it.
Cool.
Yea it's a part of istanbul that many tourists miss.
I loved the beach there 😀👍.
And a lot of fresh fish 🙏🥰
Turkish Hamam Bath is very relaxing :D
What a wholesome cleansing , can’t wait to try , Lovley post thanks :)
Greetings from iraq to all the Turkish people
Thank you greetings to Irak
Aleykumselam Saddam
Turkish Hamam very Popular In the world,,, So many Celebrities they have Home private Hamam
✌️🤙 Your experience looked like my worst nightmare 😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it. I look forward to more of your adventures in Turkiye👏🏻🙏
Hehh, Yea, I was able to relax in the middle of the session, then I started enjoying it 😀👍.
What makes it a nightmare for you 😉?
@@WildVikingTravels the heat of the sauna would make me melt😀😳 and then being manhandled would send me over the edge 🤣 thanks for taking one for the team. Safe travels my friends🙏🙏✌️
@@GPosner8 Grow up please!! Are you that insecure about your sexuality? Laughable!
@@GPosner8lol
Fantastic experience as had one about 6 month ago.. Everyone should experience this😊😊
When I worked in Mexico City I used to go to a bath house down the street from the Opera where I would be steamed almost to death, boiled alive and then be twisted, stood upon, have my limbs almost pulled out, and then every muscle split in half by hands like knives. Then a bucket of ice water poured over me. It was Heaven.
it is like Ahmed Ibn Fadlan meeting the Viking again hehe, great video man thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the vlog. Excellent, just getting started myself, really enjoyed it
That looks heavenly. I'd love to experience a scrub like that.
I am a lady and l booked my Hammam in the hotel where l slept in Istanbul. Being a Western EU woman l should not have been ashamed to be treated by a man,but l really was. I was 100% sure that l would have treated by anotherwoman,but did not happen (l have never been treated by any men in any SPA in my whole life). The man was very nice and professional,though and l was wearing my swimsuit. Hammam is a very good experience to do once in a life time or more,if you could,but the massage after it,was a bit painful,imo😊. Greetings from Italy and thanks for sharing your experience with us!😊
Hey! So surprising you were treated by a man! Liisu also went to a hamam the same day in a different part of Istanbul and it was all female. I hope you still enjoyed the experience! In Europe it would most probably be not a surprise but here is a different story...thank you for sharing your experience.
@@WildVikingTravels thankyou too and welcome😊,my pleasure 😊. I have had some treatments in various hotels SPA's during my trips (Dead Sea/Poland/around Italy) but never happened with a man. In Italy it is almost unusual (l think you are from Scandinavia,aren't you? 😊 So my country is still a bit old fashioned,compared to yours😊) ,so l thought in Turkey could have been the same,honestly (we are very similar in many things). I will be back to Istanbul the end of this month,God willing and will have the same experience with the same individual,but l have known him already so it would not be uncomfortable this time😊. Thanks again and hope you have a great day 😊!
Wow interesting journey! Thanks for the effort you put in this video really enjoyed watching 👍
My god. The massage look amazing . Incredible all the dead skin we have.
lol that panic at 4:45 bro :D
first time seeing your vlog and enjoyed it a lot! You are very inspirational and comedic......So, i subscribed!
Heyhey.
Thanks for the kind words!
And glad to have you on the channel 🙏😁
Excellent content - thank you for smashing your insecurities and letting yourself be vulnerable.
I can’t wait to watch your next adventures in istanbul.
Ersel!
I think you will also be in the next video (or well not you but story of you 😀🙏)
Thank you for everything!
Greetings from an Irish fella living 20 years in Istanbul, I hope you enjoyed the trip! The hamam is a different experience. First time I had one, I was wondering if I should go to the police afterwards. I thought I'd been beaten up! Lol! I always try to use a loofah in the shower before going but still there's dead skin coming away! It's likely that a woman's hamam was quite close by somewhere but maybe they couldn't explain, not having English. 🙂 Myself and my wife try to visit once a month. We don't pay €100 either! Just subscribed!
Heyhey.
Thanks for the info!
And so nice to have you on the channel traveling with us!
Best wishes😊
Joe and Liisu
Aaah I miss Hamams there aren't any where I live now. Loved watching this. This is I must say is a rather posh Hamam, changing rooms, individual shower cabins etc. The ones I went to were beutifully tiled but you lay on that tiled floor in a big wet room along with everyone else and the guy spraying with hot hot water, cold water, soap, water is running all the time, its a slippery foam party but you just lie there being taken for the ride being thrown around the floor, in the nicest safest way. No one wore clothes except the Indian style cloth they give you (same you got) but the guy soon takes it off and reaches every where, I mean nothing is left unclean, no one cares everyones eyes are shut anyway. This was mostly in the Latin Quarter of Brussels and Paris. Yah you do feel so pampered and clean and connected. It's true almost a spiritual journey, rebirth. Don't worry everyone's skin comes off in this quantity except locals who go once a weak maybe. I've never been to a mixed gender hamam don't think they exist or if they do the womans and mens are seperate they would have seperate entrances. Yes tourist Hamams are just expensive and not very authentic, dumbed down maybe.
You have the best voice in the world. You could literally do voice overs telling stories and put people in such a calming state. Or make them fall asleep because it's soothing. As for liking being man handled, anytime you want to be manhandled you can come visit me in the USA. Haha
Please be careful in different countries going with a person you don’t know. You hear stories of all over the world of tourists that get in bad situations like that. Just be safe.
Hey, David!
Thank you for the kind words and lovely comment.
I it took me years to accept my accent as it is, but not I feel quite comfortable with the way it sounds 😅.
Best wishes currently from Nepal 🙏😀
Yanlış biliyorsun Wild Wiking.. Hamam Türk dünyasının, İslâm dünyasının değil..
Senin gibi bizans torunlari ne Anlar hamamdan. Temizlik islamdan gelir. Sizin gibi pislikler bilmez
sadece turkiyede mi hamam var.
Aslında bızede roma dan gecme bır kultur.
At ustunde hamamı nerde bulsun adam corak asya steplerınde =)
@@ceydaal-amoudi1804 dünyanın her yerinde yıkanma banyo hamam elbette var.örnek olarak bir küvet içerisinde yıkanmak batı kültürü aynı küvet içerisinde birden fazla kişinin yıkanması TÜRKLERE GÖRE MÜMKÜN DEĞİLDİ...ortada ısıtlımış bölge olan taş..üzerinde yatmak diğer kültürlerde yok.!!bu sauna fin hamamı yada örnek alınan roma hamamları gibi değildir...çok kendine özgü.!!!süngerler lifler illede KESE denen tarz TÜRK hamamlarına özgü.!!!görüntüleri izlediniz ise bu yalnızca bir kısmı idi...yabancı iseniz eski bir hamam(turistik olmayan) deneyin derim..eğer genç bir arkadaş iseniz bulun deneyin derim..artık ulaşmakta kolay değil ...hiç denemediğiniz kadar temiz olacaksınız..
Really nice...Thank you for sharing..
You are the best ❤️
Thank you my friend!
My goodness you were glowing … I hope your wounds all better thanks for sharing
Hahh, for sure it was such an amazing adventure😅.
And yes the wounds are all healed up now and I can't wait to go back 🤣
I was born in Kucukcekmece and i am living still here. but i neve go to Kucukcekmece Bath. Thank you so much Vikink Man ;)
THAT is exactly how I felt.
What an amazing experience!! Continue to savor life's beautiful moments brother!
Looks painful! Yet relaxing! 🔥
When first time maybe☺️ But second and others very relax and fresher🍀
05:47 when u get used to its touchs,music change's Lmao hahahah
😅 Glad you enjoyed it 😆
I went to a Turkish bath in a famous city, it was brutal! I can’t remember if I was naked or not, but anyhow, I got beat with those leafy things and worked over that I thought I was going to be dead and then they threw me in the sauna and I thought I had died.
Hahaha.
Yea, it can be rough I have heard...
😂
The dirty Viking: your explanation is so unique
Hamams usually take shifts for women. Several days for men, several days for women. In some places, the shifts are in a day, for axample in the morning for men, in the afternoon for women etc.
We found out the hard way 😅
I've had a couple of Turkish baths, in Istanbul, and my understanding, regarding the wearing of clothes, is, they prefer you naked, but be careful not to "display" the genitals, hence the "loin" cloth t cover your modesty. The baths are just that, places to get clean. Glad you had a good experience.
When I experienced that body scrub, I wanted to scream I found it really felt almost painful, but when it was done, my skin had never felt better ever than after that scrub
Great content! I think you would get a lot more views if you change the thumbnail to the scene that you have blood on your hand and arrow pointing at it saying "blood" or "he did this!"
You look so brand new, refreshed and glowing ❤
I wish I had found your channel sooner! What a great, entertaining video. I subbed. Looking forward to seeing more.
Glad to hear that ❤️
turkish person: hugs nordic man as meeting
reaction of any other random scandinavian person: it was so intimate, we became one for a second, I trusted my body to someone else, it was almost an orgasmic feeling, I never thought I could feel this with another man, amazing
Wild Viking Travels: VERY INTERESTING!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
They also scrub you in Korean and Chinese saunas. Whilst it’s supposed to peel off the dead skin cells, it’s quite dangerous if you have naevi or micro injuries
Ohh man I should try those out 😅
@@WildVikingTravels well, they are public saunas and normally phones are not allowed in the bathing area. But maybe you’ll hide a tiny camera somewhere lol
I’m half Swedish and my skin is a lot like yours and I’m sure I would shed a lot of dead skin too I want to get that done too it looks so good
It's not the same but there are strips of the same material of loofah that is very exfoliating. You have to do it yourself but it'll get old skin off.
Hi from Turkey - İstanbul 🇹🇷
Amazing video great experience 👍
This is and will always be the best experience at a Hamam do it when in Turkye/
👍😁
Your skin looked so nice afterwards. glowing. It must be good for the body.
That looked wonderful. Wish we had something like that here
Hahh for sure.
It is a lovely part of the culture here 😁👍
As a Turkish man I've never experienced hamam. After this video I guess I need one. 😜
Hahaha.
It's quite a good experience!
Welcome to Turkey
My dear sir: Thank you for your delightful and enriching experience - you gave me such pleasure to see how handsomely beautiful you are. I've been watching you and your travels and must tell you that this one was superb... the best one thus far. You seem to have been totally reborn through this beautiful cleansing experience. You have been a delight in all of your videos but this one by far has given me a deeper insight into you... you are a beautiful man with a beautiful soul. Thank you again for enriching me while enriching your inner and outer self through this experience... one that I long to have myself. Blessings upon you.
Ficou bem limpo. Um dia irei também à Turquia e irei tomar um banho num hamma
😃😅😁Sende gel bro😁😅😃😇🇹🇷🤩
Just come across your channel and am loving it. So interesting and you are an absolute natural at vlogging 😁🌟
Thanks so much! 😊
Hope you will enjoy adventuring with us 👍😎
Keseyi attırmadan önce sıcak suyu üzerinize en az 15 dakika dökmelisiniz cildiniz kolaylıkla arınacaktır dökmezseniz canınız tabiki acır bize lif kadar yumuşak geliyor bu şekilde hem daha fazla kir çıkıyor
I would love to try and experience it, hope to visit Istambul one day
We say that after hamam, bath or shaving "Sıhhatlar olsun. Güle güle kirlen". It means "Have a good health. Get dirty well". I say you: Sıhhatlar olsun. Güle güle kirlen. We wait you again to Türkiye
Looks incredible!
wonderful. thank you
Omg I was in hysterics watching this with you not wearing any pants. I had visions of them whipping the towel away 😂. I love having Turkish baths, but always have my swimming costume on. I must admit I do seem to be just as dirty as you when I have them
I did not know what the etiquette was 😅
Hamam is rough, I guess you can relate to nordic sauna as well. It is just an experience, should be hot, bubbles, rubbing the skin off and then go to cold water. It used to be in old times that people had to bath once a week to really get clean, as we did not have always hot water available for shower.
The historic background of hygiene, hamams and saunas is interesting as I believe that the background is similar: if people only washed themselves once a week (as was the case in Nordic countries as well) it has to be through. Thank you for you comment here 😊🙏
Plus if you're in a dusty, not country or doing manual work
I wish they had a Turkish bath here in the US I wouldn't mind going to one. A cleansing of the whole body.
not far from Istanbul there is a small town on the shores of the marble sea Yalova, there are excellent hot springs and sulfur baths
Were you just about to cry at the end? :) Don't be ashamed; that's how we feel when we experience the sublime. Great video, btw. When are you coming to Chile?
Heyhey.
Yea, the experience was bloody amazing!
Ohh we hope to visit Chile in about a year, but when we will try to drive the Pan-American highway.
@@WildVikingTravels Awesome! Any questions you may have before you come, I'll be glad to answer them.
Wow! I hope to experience this.
I am sure you will!
It is a really pleasant thing!
