Amasya Suluova Thermal

Located in the Suluova district of Amasya Province in Turkey's Black Sea hinterland, this kaplica occupies a setting where the Anatolian plateau begins its gradual descent toward the coastal ranges. Amasya itself is one of Turkey's most historically layered cities — famous for its Pontic rock tombs overlooking the Yeşilırmak River — and the thermal tradition of the surrounding area reflects the region's centuries-long acquaintance with mineral waters.

The thermal water emerges at 38 °C, pleasantly warm and classified as thermal with a near-neutral pH of 7.3 that makes it gentle and accessible. The kaplica format — a covered bath house drawing on Ottoman and Seljuk bathing customs — frames the experience within a ritual of unhurried immersion. Regulars from Suluova and the broader Amasya basin have long incorporated visits here into seasonal routines, valuing the restorative sensation of warm mineral water after long days in an agricultural landscape defined by cherry orchards and the wide valley floor.
