Detailed Information about Yalova Thermal Springs
First of all, the thermal spring Yalova, lying down in a valley between the mountains and covered with rare flora, is located just 12 km from the center of Yalova.

It is located in a forest area of ​​3600 sq. m. The first baths (hammams) here were built by the Byzantine emperor Constantine about 1600 years ago.

Subsequently, several other emperors of Byzantium built many new objects. When the Ottomans conquered Yalova, the local thermal springs were not much appreciated, as the capital of the empire was Bursa, which was famous for its hot springs.

Then, the popularity of the resort increased again during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II (1876-1908). During his reign, all historical buildings were restored and new ones built. In a very short time, the thermal spa has become a world health and entertainment destination.

During the period of continuous wars (Balkan War 1912-1913, World War I 1918-1922 and Turkish War of Independence), the thermal resort was completely devastated and abandoned.

Destiny of the Place Changes
The fate of the thermal springs of Yalova changed with the arrival of the best and greatest Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in Yalova (August 19, 1919).

Atatürk, who admired the thermal water, greatly contributed to the fact that this place became a famous wellness center.

Thanks to the efforts of Ataturk, skilled craftsmen reconstructed and restored the thermal complex. During the tour, you will also be able to see and visit Ataturk’s estate, where he stayed here.
