A 500-meter section of a 7-kilometer-long ancient Roman water channel in Yalova, Türkiye is being restored to boost local tourism. The restoration, part of a project backed by Yalova’s Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism, is focused on a 1,700-year-old structure that will soon be accessible to the public.
Teşvikiye Mayor Mustafa Nurten announced that the project, set to finish by spring, aims to integrate the historical site into the town’s tourism offerings. Walking paths, social areas, and other visitor facilities will be developed to allow tourists to enjoy the aqueduct and its surroundings. The restoration is expected to enhance Teşvikiye’s appeal, complementing its existing focus on nature and sea tourism.
