Following the Persian tradition, the baths allow hot sulphurous water to bubble up naturally, and visitors are allowed to soak in it for 15 minutes, before a scrub, massage, and then a cold rinse. Asides from being known to have healing properties, a bath in the steaming Sulphur springs is quite an experience for visitors. You can choose to shower nude with groups of strangers or order a private room. Either way, you will be getting a unique experience of Tbilisi.
