Yalova Thermal Springs from Istanbul

The thermal springs of Yalova date back to the Byzantine Empire. Many pools, baths and saunas were built at that time. However, during the Ottoman era, the Yalova springs were not significant, as the Sultans preferred to spend their leisure elsewhere. But in the 21st century, the resort near Istanbul regained its popularity. Tourists come from all over the world, because the thermal water here heals all sorts of diseases. Therefore, the trip is primarily valuable from a medical point of view.
