Gediz Termal

Gediz Termal is a thermal spa in Gediz district of Kütahya Province in western Anatolia, Turkey, where oligomineral geothermal waters from the tectonically active graben valley system of inner Anatolia offer therapeutic bathing — part of Turkey's extraordinary geothermal wealth, which ranks it among the top ten countries in global geothermal energy resources. The Gediz River valley, part of the Anatolian graben system where the earth's crust is actively stretching and thinning, produces abundant and diverse thermal water resources used for both spa bathing and agricultural geothermal heating throughout the region. Kütahya Province's rich Ottoman heritage — centered on the ancient city of Kütahya, famous since the 13th century for its exceptional ceramic tile production that decorated mosques and palaces across the Ottoman Empire — provides a culturally rich backdrop for the thermal bathing tradition of Gediz.
