Turkey is among the top seven countries with healing thermal springs. This is because Turkey is located in a so-called "geothermal belt". In that regard, Turkey is the ultimate wellness destination. There are over 1,000 thermal springs in Turkey in total, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 110°C. Historically significant places in Turkey have been able to develop well due in part to the presence of natural thermal springs. The Turkish Marmara and Aegean regions are located on the geothermal belt, where most of the thermal springs are found. Turkey already enjoys a delightful Mediterranean climate. Many people with health issues and skin diseases seek the sun in Turkey. Especially for those with rheumatism or other joint problems, as well as those with skin conditions, a spa vacation in Turkey is beneficial. The thermal water has a particularly strong therapeutic effect on muscles, joints and the skin. In addition to hotels with thermal springs, there are also many hotels offering specialized detox, yoga, meditation, or sports programs.
Turkey is home to an incredible number of thermal hotels. A considerable number of them are located around Pamukkale and Hierapolis. However, you can also find hotels with hot springs in other areas such as Afyon, Kutahya, Balikesir, Yalova and Bursa. Pamukkale, located in southwestern Turkey (Denizli province), is world-famous for its spectacular white terraced pools filled with calcareous water at a constant temperature of 35°C. These pools are one of the most remarkable natural phenomena in Turkey and are even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a magnificent, enchanting and unique natural area. You can book special treatment programs in various hotels for conditions such as rheumatism, skin problems, or simply to give your body a significant boost. These specialized treatment programs are often supervised by healthcare professionals, including physiotherapists. These spa hotels are generally open year-round, making them ideal for people who wish to bathe in a warm thermal bath during the winter cold. An additional advantage is that you can enjoy peaceful relaxation away from the crowds.
Dalyan is often visited by people with conditions such as rheumatism, liver, spleen, intestinal, skin and stomach problems due to the presence of several mud baths and hot springs.

It is located in a delta area where the Dalyan River connects to the Mediterranean Sea. The nearby Iztuzu Beach is part of a protected area as it serves as a nesting site for Caretta Caretta sea turtles.
