These scorching mineral-rich hot springs (temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius) bubble up from the chalk-coated rocks only five kilometers from Pamukkale. 

The presence of various oxides (including iron oxide) in the water has tinged the calcium carbonate of the springs with a variety of colors.

Beneath the springs is a small bathing pool, where you can soak until your heart's content. This is a great place to soothe weary travel muscles and take a break from the road for an hour or two.
