Free hot springs in Turkey

Warm sodium chloride thermal water bubbles up directly from the sandy seabed inside a shallow ocean cove right along the beach. The water is a mild blend of hot spring mineral water and cool Aegean seawater offering a gentle and completely natural warm bath. It is perfectly suited to casual beachgoers families and swimmers who want a free unstructured soak. Expect no changing cabins or facilities directly at the spring site so wearing your swimsuit under your clothes is recommended.

The spring water is highly enriched with iron oxide and calcium which creates distinct reddish orange and purple travertine deposits. The open air public park has shallow wading pools where visitors can walk barefoot and soak their feet in the warm muddy sediment. It is a highly localized experience catering to wellness travelers looking for traditional mud cures. There are no changing cabins at the public springs so visitors should wear footwear that is easy to remove. Paid thermal hotel pools and mud baths are available nearby for a more developed facility.
