Bey Hamam, Ottoman bathhouse at Egnatia Street, Thessaloniki, Greece.

Bey Hamam is a 15th-century Ottoman bathhouse on Egnatia Street in Thessaloniki, Greece, with two separate sections for men and women. Each section is organized around cold, tepid, and hot rooms lined with original marble basins, decorated domes, and traditional stone benches.

Sultan Murad II ordered the bathhouse built in 1444, shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Thessaloniki. It was the first Ottoman bath in the city, marking an early shift in the urban fabric under the new rule.

The bathhouse was long known as the "Baths of Paradise", the name it carried while still operating as a working hammam. Men and women had separate quarters with no direct communication between them: the men's entrance was on the southwest side, while a second entrance further north gave women more discretion. The eastern annex now houses the main shop of the Foundation of Archaeological Receipts of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

Bey Hamam stands on Egnatia Street, east of the Panagia Chalkeon church and near the height of Aristotelis Street. The eastern annex now houses the main shop of the Foundation of Archaeological Receipts of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. The bath itself is used for cultural events and short exhibitions, so check what is on before planning a visit.

The men's cold room has a painted cupola, and the tepid room's dome carries oculi and a series of painted plant depictions. The eastern rectangular cistern that supplied the baths still flanks the building. The massage table stands at the centre of the cruciform hot-room complex, as it did when the baths operated.
