About Beyter Dutlu Tahtalı Termal Tesisleri

Beyter, still widely known by its older name Dutlu-Tahtalı, is a long-established thermal spa complex in a wooded valley in the Dibecik area of Beypazarı, off the Ankara-Beypazarı state highway at kilometre 85. Its directions say to turn left about 20 km before Beypazarı town and continue roughly 5 km. The complex is built around two historic bathhouses. Dutlu, on the ground floor of the A Block hotel, has pools at about 45 degrees; Tahtalı, in the F Block, runs at about 50 degrees. Each has separate men and women sections with changing cubicles and showers, and the thermal water flows through the pools continuously during the day. The baths open at 5am and close at 7pm, after which the pools are drained, cleaned and refilled. There are also two drinking fountains for traditional drinking cures, and the operator publishes Ministry of Health analysis reports for its spring water. Bring your own towel, robe and slippers: these are not provided, though the on-site shops sell them. Accommodation ranges from hotel blocks to simple pension-style rooms. According to its accommodation page the complex has 300 rooms and 400 beds, including 36 rooms with bathtubs filled with thermal water. A Block, with standard rooms and suites for two or three people, is open all year and connects directly to the baths, with half board included; some other blocks close in winter. Guests pay for the bed and use the baths and drinking water at no extra charge. Other facilities listed by the operator include a restaurant, TV lounges, a market and gift stand, a barber, a laundry, a prayer room, a children's playground, a post office agency and a contracted doctor and nurse.
