Summary

Pathe synopsis: Take the plunge into a hill top swimming pool heated by a natural hotwater spring and you discover the amazing secret of Turkey’s cotton cliffs. Romans built a villa on the hill but it was destroyed by an earthquake 18 centuries ago. Another earthquake brought forth the hot spring at the bottom of the hill. The earth shook a third time shifting from the spring to the top from where it tumbled down to form weird limestone cliffs like open air stalactites filled with warm blue pools - a true wonder of the world.
