The guide
Where exactly
Just round corner from Attaturk Square, well signposted. Historical baths. Cross street: Girne Cad or Asmaalti Sok
Cruisiest spot: In the steam room.
When to go
Anytime
Etiquette
Just cruise as normal. The masseurs are willing to you but expect handsome tips.
Nudity: Yes / Most wear towels but some men lie in the alcoves naked with a curtain across.
Safety
Tourist poking their nose in looking at it from a historical point of view. Be careful of tourists although you can hear when people are coming into the steam room because the first entry door makes a loud noise so theres plenty of warning. The masseurs know whats going on and I was offered a twice by them.
