Works have been launched to bring the healing thermal water of Mu\u011fla\u2019s \u0130\u00e7meler district in paradise-on earth- Marmaris into the tourism sector.

Marmaris, Turkey \/ NationalTurk – Thermal waters from the Aegean province of Mu\u011fla\u2019s Marmaris town are believed to be blessed with healing powers for some woman\u2019s diseases as well as smooth out wrinkles and celluloid problems. Works have been started to bring this healing thermal water into the Turkey’s growing tourism sector. The aim is to extend Marmaris’ tourism season to stretch throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Already a popular destination in Turkey for Dutch, British and Russian tourists, Marmaris is exactly where Aegean see meets the Mediterranean\u00a0in southern Turkey.<\/p>\n

The healing water located in \u0130\u00e7meler and thought to be the beauty source of the demi-goddess Hamithea, will be given priority for tourism purposes.<\/p>\n

Most shops in Marmaris close after the warm tourism season \u00a0comes to an end, turning Marmaris into an abandoned place, Marmaris Tourism and Environment Volunteers Group Chair Filiz Ersan stated. Shop owners covered their windows with papers, but Marmaris, which is a world brand in tourism, did not deserve to see such things and should extend the season to the whole year in order to prevent them from occurring, she said.<\/p>\n

According to Ersan, geophysics engineer Hakan Beyaz had prepared a thesis to bring the healing water into tourism use. \u201cFifteen academics including Beyaz and O\u011fuz G\u00fcndo\u011fdu of Istanbul University have made research in the region and prepared a report in 2009. As a result of this research, it is stated in the report that this thermal water heals orthopedic, respiratory problems and some woman\u2019s diseases,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But the report was shelved, Ersan said. \u201cThe hotels that become empty in winter will be full thanks to the Goddess Hemtihea Healing Water Center. The reports say this water makes people healthier. As it is known, the most important problem of artists are wrinkles and cellulite. The health center that will open in \u0130\u00e7meler will be rushed to by celebrities. Marmaris will be the holiday center instead of Bodrum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marmaris Trade Chamber Chairman Mehmet Baysal said that Hemithea was a demi-goddess that made the ancient city of Kastabos in the Eren Mountain behind \u0130\u00e7meler.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a city where festivities were organized in the ancient city. The healing water always existed there. Talks have been continuing with some organizations to rehabilitate the healing water,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Baysal said that when compared to European examples, \u0130\u00e7meler\u2019s potential would be a new breath for tourism and that such a project would make great contributions to extend tourism to 12 months.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
