The province of Mersin is rich in thermal springs. Many of them flow into mountain rivers, which makes it possible to swim in mineralized mountain water all year round. For example, in the place "Doctor un Iri" you can swim all year round, the water is rich in radon and calcium. People come here to treat the musculoskeletal system, joints, fishing for mountain trout, swimming in the river, or just family and friends picnics.
One of the popular thermal spas is "Çelikhan", located at a distance of 70 km from Mersin. Here, among the gorge, surrounded by coniferous mountains, there are a number of sanatoriums. You can stay in them, rent a room, swim in thermal waters with a temperature of +45 degrees, take a steam bath in a Turkish hammam, get over 20 types of massage, or just take a walk through the coniferous forests.
