Its story
Çermik takes its name from the hot springs east of the district; historically the district was also known by names such as Çermuk and Germıke. GoTürkiye notes that the hot springs, about 3 kilometers from the district center, have been used since the Middle Ages and that the Büyük Paşa and Küçük Paşa baths are located here. Restoration work has been carried out by the municipality on the historic baths in the area, also known as the Melike Belkıs Hot Springs. Health tourism based on geothermal springs has an important place in the economy of Çermik, which draws visitors from surrounding provinces and districts. A visit to the springs can be combined with a tour of the district's Haburman Bridge and Ulu Mosque.
