The museum is one of the most important preserved Ottoman buildings in Molyvos, it is owned by the Municipality and is listed as a protected monument by the Ministry of Culture. The baths were public and shared by men and women on
alternate days or at different hours and were directly connected to the Ottoman daily and religious life.
The baths stopped working in the 1960s.

Οι άνθρωποι που το συντηρούν είναι πολύ φιλικοί και επεξηγηματικοί και απ'ότι κατάλαβα για άλλη μια φορά είναι ξένοι που προσπαθούν και νοιάζονται για τα μνημεία αυτού του τόπου σε πλήρη αντίθεση με τους ντόπιους, δυστυχώς. - 25 Aug 2022

Glorious Hammam The Hammam has been restored wonderfully. It was so interesting to look around the museum and learn about how it used to operate. The guides were so enthusiastic and we learnt so much from them. We would certainly visit again and I would urge anyone visiting Molyvos to visit the museum . - 27 Jun 2023

Beautiful Visited this morning as a rainy day in Molyvos. Well worth seeing this fantastic restoration. Given a guided tour by a lovely couple who are both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The acoustics are incredible and listening to the tape of the lady singing was beautiful. - 17 Jun 2023

Hidden gem After 29 years of holidays in Molyvos, we thought we knew the place and all its nooks and crannies as well as anyone. But we were proved wrong when we found the Hammam just off the Agora. Embarrassingly, we had passed it hundreds of times without realising it was there. The restoration is awesome and we learned so much about its past as we were being shown round by Robin and Carol, who were doing their "shift" as volunteers on the day we visited in May, 2023. Definitely should be on the "must do" list for anyone visiting Molyvos area. But don't take a towel! 😄.
The building is just a fascinating, beautifully restored museum. - 26 Jun 2023

Heel indrukwekkend Hele gastvrije ontvangst. De beheerders hebben ons de geschiedenis, de opbouw en functies uitgelegd. Zeer indrukwekkend en heel mooi opgebouwd waarbij de oude elementen zichtbaar blijven. - 28 Jun 2023

Gem We visited today as a family of 4 and just wanted to say thank you. The museum is a must see when in Molyvos. The interior was amazing and the views from the rooftop are unreal. Rob and Carol weren't too bad hosts either 😉 - 06 Jun 2023

Must have if You visit Molyvos! So nice to hear about it from most kind Guides that I've ever met. It's slightly hidden between other buildings, but feel free to ask about it aby nearby seller. And, to add it's attractiveness, it's much cooler inside. Great time spent there, take Your chance to visit it! - 21 Aug 2023
