Yalova thermal resort

August 14, 2023

Yalova thermal spring is located in the province of the same name Yalova in the north-west of Turkey on the shores of the Sea of Marmara. The city of Yalova itself is more than 5 thousand years old. The resort is convenient for tourists arriving in Istanbul, especially at Sabiha Gokcen Airport. You can also get to the city by ferry. Here like to come not only Istanbul residents, but also tourists from European countries, and the town itself has a quiet atmosphere, typical of old European cities.

The distance between Istanbul and Yalova is 110 km. The resort belongs to the Ministry of Health of Turkey, which guarantees a high level of medical service and comfort for visitors. There are also private health resorts. Water in the springs of Yalova has a temperature from 55 to 60 degrees Celsius, pH value from 6.88 - 7.48, and also contains a significant amount of sulfur, sodium and calcium. Its healing properties were known since Byzantine times. 

What to see? In addition to the numerous thermal springs located both in and around Yalova itself, you can visit the following locations:

- hamam, built during the reign of Justinian
- ancient baths from the Byzantine period, as well as the Valide and Sultan baths
- Ataturk Mansion, built in 1929. Mustafa Kemal lived in it while visiting the springs. Since 1981, the mansion has been open as a historical house-museum. 
- Aqualand Water Park (30 minutes by car), which has a variety of slides, pools, spa and swimming school.
- open-air museum (Kazim Karabekir district), where monuments of Greek, Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman eras are located.
- picturesque waterfalls Sudusen and Ericli
- the city park near the city hall. The park, by the way, is called "Makhachkala" in honor of the twin city of Yalova
