About this audio guide
This guide to Aigli Geni Hamam in Thessaloniki is about the man who paid for it in the fifteen hundreds, Hüsrev Kethüda, an administrator with ties to the Ottoman grand vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha. It follows his double bathhouse through the centuries after the steam stopped, from warehouse to winter cinema to concert hall. Best heard from inside, with a drink in hand.
