Information about Yalova Thermal Springs
Situated just 12 km from the center of Yalova, the captivating Yalova Thermal Springs are nestled within a picturesque valley, adorned with rare flora and embraced by majestic mountains. Spanning an expansive forest area of 3600 sq. m, the history of these springs dates back over 1600 years.
The origins of the thermal baths, or hammams, can be traced back to the Byzantine era when they were first constructed by Emperor Constantine. Over time, subsequent Byzantine emperors added their own structures, expanding the complex. However, with the Ottoman conquest of Yalova, the local thermal springs were overshadowed by the fame of Bursa, the empire's capital, renowned for its own hot springs.
It was during the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid II (1876-1908) that the resort regained popularity and experienced a renaissance. Historical buildings were meticulously restored, and new structures were erected, rapidly transforming the thermal spa into a global hub for health and entertainment.
Unfortunately, the resort suffered devastation and abandonment during the tumultuous period of continuous wars, including the Balkan War (1912-1913), World War I (1918-1922), and the Turkish War of Independence.
Despite its tumultuous history, the Yalova Thermal Springs have endured and continue to captivate visitors with their natural beauty, healing properties, and rich cultural heritage. Join us on our Yalova Thermal Tour and immerse yourself in the fascinating narrative of these ancient springs.
