Yalova Province, Administrative province on eastern coast of Sea of Marmara, Turkey.
Yalova Province sits on the eastern coast of the Sea of Marmara in northwestern Turkey, stretching across approximately 798 square kilometers. This makes it the smallest administrative division in the country and includes six distinct districts.
The region began as a district of Kocaeli Province before becoming part of Istanbul Province, then gained independence as a separate administrative unit in 1995. These administrative changes reflected shifting patterns of regional development in northwestern Turkey.
Termal, one of its six districts, has drawn visitors since Byzantine times to experience thermal springs valued for their healing properties. These natural waters continue to shape local life and attract those seeking relaxation today.
Ferry services regularly connect this region to Istanbul from various terminals with crossing times between 45 and 75 minutes across the Sea of Marmara. Visitors should check schedules beforehand as timings can vary by season and weather conditions.
The Moving Mansion museum displays a house that engineers relocated on tram lines in 1929 to preserve a tree that threatened its foundation. This unusual rescue project shows a creative approach to protecting heritage and nature together.
