YALOVA THERMAL SPRINGS

Diversify your stay in Istanbul with a trip to the famous Yalova resort - a picturesque corner located in a mountain valley by the shores of the Sea of Marmara, renowned for its healing thermal springs. The main treasure of Yalova is its unique natural park featuring rare plants, coniferous forests, and crystal-clear mountain air, creating a special microclimate. The resort has been known since the times of the Roman Empire: even back then, hot springs were valued for their healing properties. Later, during the Ottoman Empire, the thermal waters were used by sultans and nobility for treatment and relaxation. In the 20th century, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk made Yalova accessible to the public. He loved this resort very much and famously said, "Yalova is my city." Guests can enjoy: • outdoor and indoor pools with hot mineral water; • traditional hammam and Turkish saunas; • sultan baths; • sources of drinking water beneficial for the stomach, kidneys, and metabolism. Yalova's mineral waters are used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, rheumatism, joint diseases, and skin ailments, strengthening the immune system, improving circulation, and enhancing overall well-being. Thanks to their unique composition, Yalova's waters have gained international recognition and received the European Spa Association Award for high quality and environmental purity. A trip to Yalova is not only a retreat and care for health but also an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature, history, and a peaceful atmosphere away from the noisy Istanbul.
