The hamam was a place of stillness and withdrawal, where even a slightly energetic movement could disturb the psycho-spiritual climate. It was a place for people of every rank and situation to enjoy freely. The hamam was a traditional custom throughout one's life.

The women turned the bathing ritual into an art form with their accessories such as the "peştemal", a cotton or silk towel wrapped around the body, as they walked toward the marble basin known as the "kurna". They would wear various kinds of "nalin", or wooden clogs, which kept the feet clear of the wet floor. The nalin were often decorated with mother of pearl or sheathed in tooled silver. The "tas", for pouring water over the body, was often made of silver, gilt or copper with grooved or inlaid patterns.

The hamam was a place where young girls learned the art of beauty and could best relax and enjoy the freedom of a day to themselves.
