Dalyan is small town on the south-western coast of Turkey 25 km from the International Dalaman Airport. Set in the centre of a broad delta, whose natural beauty remains unspoilt. Dalyan is established in an environmentally protected area. This is one of the few surviving places of paradise, an area of natural beauty interest.
Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the 'Book of Revelation'. The 'Gospel of John' may have been written here. It is also the site of a large gladiators' graveyard.
This is one of the best preserved Roman cities in the Mediterranean, renowned for the Celsus Library and the famed Temple of Artemis, one of 'The Seven Wonders of The World'.
The Turkish bath (Turkish; hamam) is the Middle Eastern variant of a steam bath, which can be categorized as a wet relative of the sauna. The Turkish baths have played an important role in cultures of the Middle-East, serving as places of social gathering, ritual cleansing, and as architectural structures, institutions, and (later) elements with special customs attached to them. Europeans learned about the Hamam via contacts with the Ottomans, hence the "Turkish" part of the name.
In Western Europe, the Turkish bath as a method of cleansing the body and relaxation was particularly popular during the Victorian era. The process involved in taking a Turkish bath is similar to that of a sauna, but is more closely related to the ancient Roman bathing practices.
A person taking a Turkish bath first relaxes in a room (known as the warm room) that is heated by a continuous flow of hot, dry air allowing the bather to perspire freely. Bathers may then move to an even hotter room (known as the hot room) before splashing themselves with cold water. After performing a full body wash and receiving a massage, bathers finally retire to the cooling-room for a period of relaxation.
In Turkey, the advent of modern plumbing, systems, showers, and bathtubs in homes caused the importance of hamams to fade in recent times.
