Spas, hammams and massage in Tekirdağ

The two venues listed in Tekirdağ are spread across the province's two largest centres: a men-only hammam in Çorlu, known for its industry, and a hotel spa centre in Süleymanpaşa, the provincial capital. In Tekirdağ, on the Sea of Marmara coast, there is no thermal resort on the list; the options are built around the hammam, sauna, jacuzzi and massage.

A men-only hammam in Çorlu

Trakya Hamam Spa is a modern hammam in Çorlu that accepts male guests only. Alongside the Turkish bath, a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and hot and cold jacuzzis are in the same venue; kese (exfoliating scrub) and foam wash are also among the hammam's services. No massage menu appears in the records; the focus of a visit is the wet areas. Having all the wet areas under one roof is practical for those who want to alternate between the hot areas and the cold jacuzzi. There is no section for female visitors at this venue; the other listed option in Tekirdağ is the hotel spa in Süleymanpaşa.

A hotel spa with a wide massage menu in Süleymanpaşa

Mills Hotel Spa Center is the spa section of the Mills Hotel in Süleymanpaşa. The hammam, kese, foam wash, sauna and steam room make up the wet areas. Of the two venues, only this spa offers massage: Balinese, Swedish, aromatherapy, hot stone, deep tissue, sports, medical, anti-stress and anti-cellulite massage are listed; its description also mentions lomi lomi massage. With such a wide menu, the main factor in choosing is the pressure you want; the guide explaining the difference between Swedish massage and deep tissue by pressure makes the decision easier.

How the Mills Hotel arranges use for women and men is not known; ask in advance whether the wet areas are mixed or have separate hours and whether visitors who are not staying at the hotel are admitted to the spa. The price of a massage session varies with its length, the type of treatment and whether use of the hammam or sauna is included. If pregnancy, varicose veins, a history of thrombosis or recent surgery applies, consult your doctor before intensive treatments such as hot stone and deep tissue. Alternating between hot and cold jacuzzis may also not be suitable for people with cardiovascular conditions or high blood pressure.
