Home to the world-famous fairy chimneys, underground cities and extraordinary landscapes of Cappadocia, Nevşehir is one of Türkiye's most iconic tourism destinations and also one of Central Anatolia's most significant geothermal regions. At the heart of this remarkable landscape, the province combines Cappadocia's unique natural and cultural heritage with mineral-rich thermal waters, offering visitors a distinctive destination where nature, culture and wellbeing come together.
Nevşehir's growing reputation in health tourism is centred on the geothermal resources of Kozaklı, one of Türkiye's leading thermal spa destinations. The thermo-mineral waters of Kozaklı reach mineral concentrations of approximately 2,500 mg/L, while geothermal fluids in some wells exceed 90°C, reflecting the area's exceptional geothermal potential. Rich in sodium, calcium and chloride, these waters are used in balneotherapy as complementary therapies, particularly for rheumatic conditions, osteoarthritis, selected dermatological conditions, and physical medicine and rehabilitation programmes. Scientific studies support their complementary role in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and thermal spa treatments. With its modern thermal hotels, rehabilitation facilities and comprehensive spa infrastructure, Kozaklı has become one of the country's leading destinations for thermal health and wellness tourism.
Visitors can spend the day exploring the unique cultural treasures of Cappadocia before unwinding in the region's naturally warm thermo-mineral waters. Combining extraordinary geological landscapes, a rich historical heritage and one of Türkiye's most important geothermal resources, Nevşehir offers a truly distinctive destination for wellness, relaxation and healthy living.
