  The Buyuk Hamam, or Great Turkish Bath, is built on the ruins of a 14th century Lusignan church, St George of the Latins. Only the entrance of the church remains, but it bears similarities to the porch of the Bedesten. The building was converted into a bath house when the Ottomans arrived in Nicosia in 1571. Being one of the most frequented Turkish Baths open to the public, its services were very important, particularly as there were no baths in most houses. With its lukewarm, cold and hot areas, it was a standard Turkish bath. The baths consist of a changing room, and warm and cool sections. The reception area is covered by a wooden roof on two pointed arches. This area has divans along its walls and an octagonal cistern in its centre. Alongside the reception area are two smaller anti-rooms with four recesses which lead to the vaulted caldarium (hot room) with recesses and a stone bench at the centre. The caldarium extends to two small side chambers. Light is provided by the glass-covered holes on the bell-shaped cupola.

  You pay 10 euros for max two hours of being in a large warm room with hot floor and middle elevated floor, throwing hot/cold water on yourself.
