The tellak is the male attendant and the natır the female, trained in the sequence of pouring, scrubbing, foaming and rinsing that makes up the ritual. At Navitas Spa our attendants perform the hammam rituals; tell us when booking whether you prefer a male or female attendant and we arrange it according to the day's team.
