I had a great afternoon at the Isa Begov Hamam. While I did not stay in the hotel, I did very much enjoy the hamam experience. I've been to hamams in Turkey and Morocco, and this was very much in that tradition. I started in the steam room to warm up. Then my attendant introduced himself and proceeded to scrub and soap me from head to toe. Very professional, gentle, and thoughtful, always making sure the water temperature was not too hot and the my nose and eyes were closes when I was being splashed down. I proceeded to a 60-minute massage by Edita--who is not just a sweetheart (like having a Bosnian aunt), but is also a truly powerful woman. She gave a true deep tissue sports massage (really good pressure, nothing wishy-washy like I've sometimes been disappointed to encounter when traveling). With entrance fee, scrub, and 60-minute massage, the bill was 95 Euros--very good value by American and Western European standards. But various packages can be tailored to your liking and budget.
