Excellent spa with some (to me anyway) unusual treatments. The banya is actually a large sauna/steam room where you cook slowly before going into the cold water plunge pool. Then repeat but this time with the parenie which is a massage/light beating with bunches of leaves while you are being steamed. It is almost (but not quite) too hot to bear. The full package also includes a thorough salt/honey scrub, a separate wash/scrub with more leaves and a 30 minute deep tissue back and shoulder massage. By the end, your skin will be smooth and glowing and you will be ready for a nap. Highly recommended.
