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.

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.
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.
Hamam by Ottoman, very smart hamam
Beautiful historical location, a well preserved old baths building.
Bey Hamam is turkish name for Paradise Baths ie Loutra Paradeisos. It is the largest turkish bath in Greece, built by Sultan Murad II. It is used as a bath until 1968. Nowdays it is home to many cultural events. Recommend!
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.
Only the cafe and the museum shop are permanently open. But it is worth to have a rest here and a lemon pie! Good atmosfere, friendly service, it's a special place.
