Both of us have just had a Turkish massage, arranged at the hotel with Marco. Cost was 40 lira (about £15) for the both of us. This includes pickup from hotel and dropped back to. We Left the hotel at 3pm and on our travel we even stopped to take a few photos of the views. Arrived at Mersoy bellavista suites, which is where the turkish baths was, and was given our own hand mit and shoes to wear. Straight into thermal pool, which was a bit scarey when using the ladder to get in. After 10-15 mins of swimming around, we then proceeded to the sauna room. 15 minutes of being in the sauna, we then had the Turkish bath, followed by an oil massage. It was ok, but felt a bit like being in a cattle market. Personally I wouldn't recommend this place, especially if its for women on there own, or younger women, as they can get a little intimate, due to touching areas they shouldn't and whispering things in there ears in Turkish. 
You do get what you pay for, and in fairness we were given the option of a more expensive traditional massage, which probably would of been more professional that what we had. Don't be put off if your thinking of having one, just do a little research first if you can.
Arrived back at hotel just after 5pm, so now were just having a few drinks we got in duty free, before we go for something to eat.
