5 Natural Healing Hot Springs to Visit in the World

2. Cleopatra Pool, Turkey

Insider Monkey Score: 20.32

The cascading limestone-lined pools of the Pamukkale Hot Springs are a popular tourist destination in Turkey. However, the most popular location for a thermal bath is the Cleopatra Pool which gets its name from a legend that states that the pool was sculpted by Marc Anthony as a gift to Cleopatra. Apart from enjoying a therapeutic swim in the champagne waters of this complex, tourists can witness the ancient Doric columns that now rest at the bottom of the pools, courtesy of an earthquake in the 7th century.
