While bath machines were invented in order to benefit from
marine culture in Europe in the early 18th century, a different marine culture began to
develop in the Ottoman Empire. These baths, also known as deniz banyosu, derya
hamamı or derya banyosu, have been in the foreground as an entertainment and resting
place especially for the people of Istanbul.
Seabaths, especially in terms of its services, madeits mark on the 19th century. These
businesses, which have a significant place in the 19th century, have succeeded in
maintaining their function until the last period of the 20th century. They became a
modern enterprise, especially after passing under the control of the municipality in
Istanbul and a significant progress has been made in the profit margin. Seabaths were
established in İstanbul and other coastal cities as well as in the cities by the rivers which
are used for swimming. It was seen that these baths were also been built together with
hot springs to take advantage of spawater. While the number of these baths were
around 20 in their first years, they rapidly increased to over 80.
These bathes were open during the summer season and continued to exist by selling food
and beverages in the winter months.
