The Ottoman (Turkish) baths are among the best preserved features in the Rion Fortress. They were inspired by roman bath ruins which the Ottomans found everywhere in their empire after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Interestingly, they are found right next to the church, which has been restored again under Greek rule. The two fortresses on either side of the narrow sea strait entrance changed hands several times between Venetian (Italian) and Osman (Turkish) rulers, until they became museums after Greek independence.

Within the fortress grounds are the remains of an Ottoman hammam (Turkish bath). These baths are a fascinating testament to the Ottoman presence in the region. Typical features of these baths are the small, stone vaults and the characteristic skylights in the ceilings, through which daylight once filtered into the steam-filled rooms.
They served not only for hygiene but were also important social gathering places within the garrison.
Today, they survive as ruins, which can be visited during a tour of the extensive complex. They are often somewhat hidden between the massive fortress walls and the Venetian additions.
