You step through a low-stone doorway and the air changes—warm, humid, and fragrant with eucalyptus and olive oil. Steam clings to tile and mosaic while attendants move with practiced calm, pouring hot water into shallow basins and guiding you through a centuries-old cleansing ritual. The hammam’s rooms range from a sharp, invigorating cold chamber to a searing hot sauna; each shift in temperature frames the next act of the ritual.
