Simav Termal is a geothermal spa complex in Simav district of Kütahya Province in western Anatolia, Turkey, notable for being located in one of Turkey's most seismically active areas — the Simav graben, where the earth's crust is actively rifting, producing both recurrent earthquakes and the abundant oligomineral geothermal resources that feed Turkey's first geothermal aqua park. The Eynal thermal springs near Simav, among the most significant geothermal resources in western Anatolia, produce large volumes of warm mineral water used for both recreational thermal bathing and agricultural greenhouse heating — a model of sustainable geothermal resource utilization. The ancient city of Simav, known in antiquity as Simoe and later Synaos, was inhabited since Phrygian times and served as a Byzantine bishopric, giving the region a layered historical identity that spans three millennia of continuous Anatolian civilization surrounding its remarkable geothermal springs.

Insider tip — Simav is one of western Anatolia's most geothermally active districts, where hot springs bubble up along multiple fault lines and even heat local greenhouses. The town's kaplica facilities are unpretentious and used primarily by locals for hydrotherapy rather than tourism. Several small family-run bath houses cluster near the town center offering affordable access. The surrounding countryside of olive groves and wheat fields gives Simav a distinctly Aegean Anatolian character.
