  Now after reaching a Turkish bath just do what the others are doing as in many spas people prefer to go into the water without anything on, however, if you are shy then you can wear a bathing suit or shorts. Some traditional spas still have separate areas for men and women. However, this is not the case in other facilities. Going alone might be rather awkward, so if you have a date then this is the place to be.
