Thanks to its healing thermal waters, many five-star luxury thermal and spa hotels started operating in recent years. This enlivened the tourism industry in the city. Specialty products like sucuk, clotted cream and lokum are sold at roadside facilities on the way south to Antalya, and for those that use this road, Afyon is more often than not a rest stop.
