Cleopatra Antique Pool
Bathing among fallen Roman columns in the thermal pool of ancient Hierapolis.
- Купание
- На открытом воздухе
Inside the archaeological site of Hierapolis, an earthquake dropped a marble portico into the sacred spring. The columns are still there, and you can swim over them in 36°C mineral water.
