Can anyone recommend a Turkish Bath in either Istanbul or Kusadasi? One that is open to both men and women. Thank you in advance!

We went to Cağaloğlu Hamam, which has been in operation since 1741, in Istanbul in November and loved it. We were treated like Ottoman royalty while we were there, and I would go again in a heartbeat. They have separate sections for men and women. I don't know what, if anything, they offer for couples. It's on the pricey side, but we had no regrets about choosing it. https://cagalogluhamami.com.tr/en/

Thank you. A woman that owns a local Turkish restaurant here in NJ recommended that one as well.
We don't mind paying more for a nice experience. We have been watching some You Tube videos on Hammam visits and you see some that cost $8 are the people are saying they were tortured and it was painful LOL Not looking to go down that road.
Everyone I know say it's a great experience and must do in Turkey.

A hamam visit is a must-do for me in Turkey. Actually, I have done it twice: once at a hotel in Antalya and again at Cagloglu in Istanbul. Although I enjoyed the one at the hotel in Antalya, there's just something special about doing at place that has been doing it for centuries. It really transports you to another time.
