Bey Hamam (Paradise Baths)

A must visit in the city. A truly exceptional sample of meta-Byzantine architecture which was in use until late 60's

Great monument, well preserved. During a walk inside one can imagine how people used to have bath and relax here. During our visit there was an exhibition of the great fire of 1917 inside which described the disaster quite well. The entrance is free and you can complete the visit in 15-30 minutes.

As at 9 August 2025 this is boarded up and closed.

Very interesting place. Historical bath supposedly built in the place of the ancient one. Very picturesque. Personally I was a bit discomforted that it is not operational. That would be a treat: just imagine - to take a bath in such an old and loveable place... But perhaps it is all for the best - I wouldn't like to go back home.

What may have been at one time a glorious Turkish bath also known as a mom specifically for men who lived with in the neighborhood, it is now a landmark at which you may go left or right. It is the ruins of what remains of Turkish culture within the Thessaloniki.

Bey Hamam is the most majestic and impressive baths in Thessaloniki, known as Paradise Baths, are located on Egnatia Street near Aristotelous Square. The first Turkish baths were built in 1444 by the Ottomans of Thessaloniki. They are considered to be the most important baths in Greece. The hammam has separate facilities for men and women. Its main features are its characteristic domes, which internally and externally draw the admiration of visitors, and the richly decorated Sultan's Hall. The locals continued to use it, under its new name of Loutra Paradisos ("Paradise Baths"), until 1968. Now restored, it hosts regular exhibitions. We were impressed with the beautiful architecture both from the outside and from the inside. The entrance is free. Worth to visit.

It is closed but the building is amazing. From outside the fence it looks great

Beatiful place with interesting exhibitions. Free entrance is great bonus for these days. 👍🏻
