Kleopatra Hamamı is the iconic thermal pool at the ancient site of Hierapolis in Pamukkale, Denizli province, Turkey, where warm calcic mineral waters — the same waters that have deposited the famous white travertine terraces of Pamukkale over millennia — fill an ancient Roman pool scattered with fallen marble columns, creating one of the world's most dramatically beautiful and historically evocative thermal bathing experiences and drawing the name of Cleopatra from the legend of the Egyptian queen's alleged visit to these same waters. The Pamukkale geothermal springs emerge at approximately 35°C from calcium carbonate-rich waters that cascade over the hillside, depositing the brilliant white travertine that gives the site its Turkish name — 'cotton castle' — and made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Turkey's most visited natural attraction. Bathing in the Cleopatra Pool means immersing in waters surrounded by two-thousand-year-old Hellenistic and Roman architectural fragments in a setting of extraordinary beauty.
