Une de mes premiere nuit a Istanbul...

Un apres midi sur la rive asiatique d`Istanbul...

Je vais vous raconter une histoire toute fraîche que jai eu en Septembre dernier dans un des hammams à Istanbul du cote asiatique, c`est dailleurs un de mes 8 Hammams que je divulgue sur ma liste secrete! il faut vraiment se tromper de route pour arriver dans ce Hammam, car il ne parait bien sur sur aucuns guide ( comme beaucoups d`autres) a Istanbul.
Je me promenais sans but,car Istanbul c'est une ville que j'adore et que je connais bien, donc ce que j'aime le plus, c'est flâner en dehors des circuits touristiques, sentir et vivre la vraie vie des istanbuliotes.Ke suis blond (si tu vois ma photo je ressemble dailleurs a un Turc je suis grand et et sans avoir du tout un look PD, (au contraire je suis plutôt Jeans-T-shirt-Bascket) je fais un peu tâche a Istanbul comme si les locaux savaient

Ma premiere experiance dans un hammam militaire...
My first military hammam cruising in istanbul...

J`habite a Istanbul depuis 1991 et je suis Suisse,la plupart des infos sur les sites gay d`Istanbul sont très rarement mise a jour...Mais si tu recherche vraiment de l`adrénaline et que tu n`a pas de temps a perdre... Il y a des endroits de drague que tout les locaux dragueurs defois connaissent fort bien,mais dont ils ne dévoileront pas forcement les infos!


Most of the blue theatres (adult) are closed now in Istanbul, 3 out of 11 gay bars (the one i really like, but I am sure there is more!) are closed also, All gay Hamams "gay" oriented are verry strict concerning concerning "gay" action because these same Hammams where on gay guide for years... (you have been told that some "gay oriented are still ok (and i agree with that) but do you really care to go to a hammam for 4/6 hours and just exchange eyes contact?

Or in the best scenario (Taksim Park) having guy`s coming and approaching you just for your wallet? With a embrouille at the end..

Steam rises new in Turkey’s historic bath houses

ISTANBUL - Old Istanbul’s bath houses hosted scheming Pashas and shapely concubines before modern bathrooms sent them into decline, but their appeal to tourists and the growth of the spa industry promise a revival.
Developers are spending millions of dollars buying and restoring Istanbul’s finest hammams, or steam baths, after decades of neglect. They are banking on rising tourist numbers and a surge of interest among Turks in Ottoman customs.
“There is a good future for hammams. People have realised they are a strong business and there is a lot of interest in buying or managing them,” said Aydin Bulut, manager of the Suleymaniye hammam.
His bath was built in 1557 by Mimar Sinan, the prolific architect behind Istanbul’s most celebrated structures.
Price tags are high. Istanbul’s Cagaloglu Hammam -- built in 1741 and boasting Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II and Florence Nightingale among visitors -- is on sale for $16 million according to estate agents Remax Turkey.
The smaller Ayakapi hammam, also built by Sinan but not currently used as a bath, is for sale for $3 million, they said.

The success of the handful of tourist-focused historic baths including the Cagaloglu, where a scrub and
 massage can cost up to $55, has persuaded developers of the business potential of Istanbul’s dozens of other hammams.

Tourists are keen to experience them, their imaginations fuelled by tales of the sensuous Orient. Turkey had 26.3 million visitors in 2008 and aims to attract an annual 63 million by 2023 with a programme to boost infrastructure and market new destinations and vacation themes, including health and wellness.
