These thermal waters are not just a source of relaxation but are also imbued with therapeutic properties, minerals that have healed and rejuvenated people since Roman and Byzantine times. The tradition of visiting hot springs, or “kaplıcalar” in Turkish, continues to be a vital part of the country’s wellness culture. From the calcium terraces of Pamukkale to the mineral-rich springs in cities like Bursa and Afyon, each site offers a unique setting for relaxation and health. The experience of bathing in these natural pools, under the open sky or within ancient bath structures, is a testament to a tradition that has viewed water as a source of life and healing. These springs offer a serene retreat, where the warmth of the earth’s depths meets the tranquility of its scenic landscapes, providing a peaceful escape that nurtures both body and soul.
