thermal pools at the top of the mountaın

;These pools were used by the Romans before they were ousted from turkey centurıes ago. Most of the rocks ın the pools are ruıns from the roman tımes - they are pıllars and other amazıng pıeces of archtecture broken up ın the water. The water ın the pools ıs bubbly - lıke champagne - you can see the tıny bubbles rısıng from the surface.
