Russia | St.Petersburg | Russian banya
A trip to the Russian baths (banya) can be a memorable experience. The banya begins in the dressing and undressing room, where everyone strips down (public banyas are segregated by sex). Towels in the form of large white sheets are available and most people grab one or two. Warm up in the Finnish-style dry sauna (heated to between 100° and 120° C). Take a small break to cool down and then check out the steam room (parilka), where you can be beaten about the body with dried branches (vennik), usually birch, oak or juniper. Half the people in the parilka will claim there's not enough heat and start calling for someone to throw more water on the hot rocks, while the other half feebly croak "too much, too much" - the guys who want more steam usually win. This combination of heat, steam, and physical abuse purges your body of impurities and gives you a clean unattainable by mere showers or baths.
We invite you to visit the Russian banya, one of the most interesting and the oldest attribute of Russian life style, located on the Finnish Gulf shore on the tourist complex' territory. The banya it self is situated in the separate building, contains a cloak room, a hall with the fire place, Russian steam room, a sauna, a swimming pool. You are offered birch and oak dried branches, towels, etc. Also you can order various drinks. After visiting banya you can try popular dishes of Russian and European cuisine at the restaurant of the tourist complex.
