The Bey Hamam is Thessaloniki's first bath house and also the most important one in Greece. The Hamam is separated into areas for men and women with the male quarters more luxurious and spacious. However, both parts follow the same architectural plan where there are cold, warm, and hot rooms. The style includes marble benches and other areas of relaxation with a massage area in the middle of both the female and male sections. These baths were used up until 1968 and then they were leased to the Greek archaeological services for four years.
