Nemrut Gülsuhan Kaplıcaları is located near Tatvan, in Bitlis province, eastern Turkey, not far from Lake Van. The sulfurous water reaches 42°C. Indoor pools, outdoor pools and a sauna make up this hot-springs site.
Insider tip — Tatvan sits below Mount Nemrut (the volcanic caldera, not the statue site), whose crater lake is one of the world's highest. The kaplıca here taps geothermal water heated by the same volcanic system — a remarkable natural setting on the shores of Lake Van.
