Diyadin Kaplıcaları is a group of thermal springs in Diyadin, a district of Ağrı province in eastern Turkey, where naturally hot mineral water emerges in the shadow of the legendary Mount Ararat, one of the most iconic peaks of the ancient world. The springs have been known and used by the region's diverse communities — Kurdish, Armenian, and Turkish — within a long thermal tradition associated with relaxation and well-being. Set amid the dramatic highland landscape of eastern Anatolia, with Ararat's snow-capped summit visible on clear days, Diyadin Kaplıcaları combines geothermal bathing with one of Turkey's most awe-inspiring natural settings.
Insider tip — Diyadin Kaplicalari is one of eastern Turkey's most dramatic hot springs, emerging at a scalding 72°C from volcanic vents in the shadow of Mount Agri (Ararat) near the Iranian border. The intensely sulfurous waters must be cooled before bathing and create spectacular steam columns visible from a great distance. The geological proximity to the dormant Agri Dagi volcano explains the extreme temperatures. This remote, raw thermal spectacle in the Kurdish highlands offers an experience far removed from manicured spa resorts.
