Turkey SPA Thermal Hotels, About Turkey SPA Hotels, SPA Thermal Hotels Turkey Booking
Health tourism in Turkey is very popular due to the variety of thermal spring sources. Here you can get information and book thermal and SPA hotels in Turkey. Look for Turkey SPA hotels in Bursa, Sivas, Pamukkale, Yalova.
Turkey is volcanic, with
lots of natural hot springs. The Ministry of Tourism lists 17
thermal spa resorts and mud baths in Turkey, of which these are my
favorites because there's lots to see and do nearby:
Pamukkale (Denizli)
People come to look at the beautiful
travertines and swim in the naturally warm water (33 to 56°C, 91 to
133°F). Most don't care that it's also good for you. Lots of modern
hotels with thermal pools at Karahayıt, a few kilometers to the
west.
Termal (Yalova)
A pleasant hour's ferry cruise south of
Istanbul across the Sea of Marmara, then a short taxi ride gets you
to this resort. It was popular in Roman times, rebuilt by the
Ottoman sultans, favored by Kemal Ataturk, and still going strong.
Lots of indoor pools (55 to 60°C, 133 to 140°F).
Çekirge (Bursa)
An hour's bus ride south of Yalova gets you to
Bursa, of which Cekirge is an extension. Lots of hotels, all with
mineral baths (47 to 78°C, 117 to 172°F). This is where King Idris
of Libya was taking the waters when Moammar Khaddafi staged a coup
and threw him out. So if you're a king, think twice about coming
here. Everyone else: have fun! Lots to see and do - and - eat in
Bursa.
Kangal (Sivas)
540 km (336 miles) east of Ankara and 12 km NE
of Kangal, this is the weird one. Called Balıklı Çermik (Hot Spring
with Fish) in Turkish,
you bathe in a pool of 35° C (95°F) water laden with bicarbonate,
calcium and magnesium while little fish nibble you! Psoriasis? They
nibble the scaly skin right off! The amazing medieval mosque and
hospital of Divriği are 110 to the east, a worthwhile excursion.
Sultaniye (Köyceğiz)
75 km (47 miles) east of Marmaris is Köyceğiz,
a quiet town on the shores of placid Koycegiz Lake. You can reach
the Sultaniye baths (25 to 43°C, 77 to 109°F) by boat or car. Mud
baths are the favorite here. The tourist town of Dalyan and the
ruins of Caunos are at the southern end of the lake along the Dalyan
River.
Ayder (Black Sea Coast)
Combine your hot-springs bathing with a visit
to this invigorating alpine town nestled in evergreen forests on
Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast. Hikes in the mountains are a good
way to work off all the pastry made by local chefs.
