The Cleopatra Antique Pools, also known as the Cleopatra Pool, is a popular tourist attraction located in Pamukkale, Turkey. The pool's thermal waters are known for their healing properties and are rich in calcium and other minerals.
According to legend, the pool was a gift from Mark Antony to Cleopatra. It is believed that Cleopatra used to come here to bathe in the mineral-rich waters. However, there is no historical evidence to support this story.
The pool is part of the Hierapolis Archaeological Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site includes numerous ruins from the ancient city of Hierapolis, including a theater, a necropolis, and a bath complex. Visitors can explore the ruins and then take a dip in the pool to relax and unwind.
The pool is surrounded by beautiful columns and is filled with warm, crystal-clear water. The water temperature is around 36-38 degrees Celsius, which makes it perfect for a soak. The pool is quite large, and visitors can swim around to explore its various nooks and crannies.
