The Alangüllü Kaplıcası (Alangüllü Thermal Baths) are a sulphurous thermal spring bathing facility in Germencik District of Aydın Province in western Turkey, in the fertile Büyük Menderes (Maeander) valley that has been one of the most densely inhabited and geothermally active regions of the Aegean world. The sulphurous mineral waters of Alangüllü are drawn from the same geothermal system that supplies the famous Germencik and Ömerbeyli thermal baths in the district, where the Maeander rift zone brings naturally heated mineral water to the surface across a wide area. The sulphur-rich water has been used for generations by local communities within a long thermal tradition of geothermal bathing in the Maeander valley that stretches back through Roman thermae to the earliest human settlements of this productive Aegean plain.
