Hot section (Inside of hamam) and center stone
This is the section mainly used by tourists. It is the bathing and
sweating section. It contains the center stone which is heated from
below. You can lie on it and relax
Hot Halvet
Consists of two small rooms. Only used for bathing. Each room has three
kurnas (marble tubs in which hot and cold water from two taps are
mixed). It is one of the hottest sections
Cold Halvet (Private Small Room)
It is the first entrance section of the hamam, it is not a very hot
section. It is the section used to cool off when it becomes
uncomfortably hot for you.
Kulhan (Furnace)
This is the section from which the hamam is heated. The Aga hamam has
been heated with traditional methods for years. It is heated by wood
fire. Woods are lit in the kulhan section and the heat circulates under
the hamam. While many hamams in Istanbul are heated with natural gas,
the Aga hamam is heated by wood fire, which allows experiencing a
privilege in heat. Heat provided by natural gas can never be the same as
that of wood fire.
