# Kapikargin Sulfur Springs (Kapıkargın Kükürt Kaplıcası) — Thermal Mud Baths
Kapikargin Springs is a municipal thermal complex near Dalaman featuring healing mineral-rich sulfur waters at a constant year-round temperature of 28°C.
Healing Benefits and Pools
The thermal water at Kapikargin is highly saturated with hydrogen sulfide (giving it a characteristic strong smell) and contains 17 different health-promoting minerals. Bathing in these natural pools and applying the mineral mud from the bottom is highly popular for treating skin conditions (like psoriasis and eczema), rheumatism, arthritis, and joint pain. The Dalaman Municipality has developed this 42-hectare site, building comfortable wooden pathways, outdoor pools, changing cabins, toilets, and shower facilities.
Site Amenities
In addition to the thermal baths, the complex features an affordable municipal restaurant, a beach volleyball court, a dedicated picnic area, and a campground for caravans and tents. The road from Dalaman center is fully paved.
