Its story
Çiftehan is a settlement about 30 km from Ulukışla, near the Gülek Pass, the main pass of the Taurus, on the Adana road and the railway. Archaeological evidence shows that the hot spring has been used since the Hittites; the old pool is known to have been built in the Roman period and the new one in the Seljuk period. In the 5th century the settlement's name appears as Aquae Calidae, Latin for 'warm waters'. The waters, at 44.5–53.5 °C, are used both for bathing and drinking and are considered good for complaints such as rheumatism.
