Guide
Inside a cave north-west of Menemen, the thermal water of Deniz Ilıcası wells up from the rock; long ago the rock was carved away so that the spring would sit within a natural bath. The İzmir provincial directorate of culture and tourism lists the water as known to help with fractures slow to heal after an injury, some diseases of the bone system and circulatory disorders.
