After a long day on İstiklal: a foot massage break in Asmalı Mescit

A district made for walking

The best way to see Beyoğlu is on foot: İstiklal Avenue, the arcades, Tünel and the lanes down to Galata quietly add up to kilometres over a day. Rather than simply sitting down at the end of it, a session focused on the feet turns the pace of the day into a deliberate pause.

What is the Medical Foot Massage?

At Essens the Medical Foot Massage is a 60-minute session that focuses on the feet and lower legs. The name is not a promise of treatment; the aim is calm time set aside for you after a long day on your feet. Tell your therapist your preferred pressure at the start of the session.

From İstiklal to Essens

Essens Wellness & Spa is inside the Westist Hotel on Balyoz Street in Asmalı Mescit. It is a walk from the Tünel end of İstiklal Avenue and from the Şişhane metro exit. If you arrive with shopping bags, just let our team know at reception.

On its own or with a hammam?

If you are short on time, the foot massage works well on its own. For a longer plan, choose a hammam ritual first and the massage after it; the booking form lets you add more than one treatment to the same request and shows start times for the total duration.

Hours and booking

Essens is open every day from 11:00 to 23:00, so a session before or after dinner is possible. A request sent through the form is not a confirmed booking. Your appointment is confirmed once our team has checked availability and the final price with you on WhatsApp.
