Kızılcahamam is a fashionable thermal spa town in the forested hills of Ankara province, Turkey, whose bicarbonate-, sodium-, and fluoride-rich spring water has been celebrated since Ottoman times and today serves as the holiday retreat of the Ankara political and business elite. The town's thermal hotels and spa facilities, set amid pine forests at 900 metres elevation, offer a refreshing escape from the heat of the Anatolian plateau, and the spring water is among the most medically prescribed in Turkey for treating cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. The proximity of Kızılcahamam to the Turkish capital and the scenic Soğuksu National Park make it one of Turkey's most conveniently located premium thermal destinations.
