Yalova, Coastal city center in Yalova Province, Turkey.

Located on the eastern shore of the Sea of Marmara, Yalova extends across green plateaus with thermal springs and agricultural territories at 30 meters elevation.

The settlement evolved from ancient Pylai to an Ottoman stronghold, experiencing Greek occupation in 1920 before Turkish forces reclaimed it in July 1921.

The city maintains multiple thermal spa facilities dating from Byzantine times, later enhanced during Sultan Abdülhamid II reign and continuing through modern times.

Regular ferry services connect Yalova to Istanbul's Yenikapi and Pendik terminals, with journey times ranging between 45 and 75 minutes across the Marmara Sea.

The Moving Mansion museum showcases a building that engineers relocated 5 meters east in 1929 to preserve a large tree that was affecting its structure.
