Insider tip — Gümüşköy in the Aydın province lies in the geothermally intense Büyük Menderes (Maeander) valley, near the Kızıldere geothermal power plant — one of Turkey's first and largest geothermal energy facilities. The Roman Baths at Gümüşköy drew on the same volcanic geology that today generates clean electricity, in a valley where ancient thermae and modern geothermal power both harness the heat rising from beneath the fertile Aegean hinterland near the ancient city of Nysa.
