Piscine Termali Theia

Piscine Termali Theia — 'Theia's Thermal Pools' — named for the Greek titaness of light and mother of Helios, is a natural sulphurous thermal pool complex in Italy evoking the ancient Greek heritage of southern Italy or Sicily, where geothermal water feeds outdoor bathing pools in a volcanic or Apennine setting. Theia, goddess of the blue sky's brightness, is an evocative name for thermal pools whose waters are often brilliantly clear or turquoise in colour due to their mineral composition and geothermal temperature. The surrounding landscape of Magna Graecia — the ancient Greek colonial world of southern Italy and Sicily — and its extraordinary legacy of temples, amphitheatres, and olive groves provides one of the Mediterranean world's most historically resonant settings.
