Greece: Athens Turkish Baths

I visited the Turkish Baths in Plaka today. I found out about them in Lonely Planet. I don’t think many tourists visit them because when I walked in around 8:30 the man at the desk looked surprised to see a visitor and had to turn on the lights in the place. The baths are really well restored 17th-century public bathhouse and a remnant of the Ottoman times. The only criticism I have is that more signage as to what you are looking at would have been really nice. They had pictures projected onto some of the walls that did help a little.
