Saturnia Hot Springs

Warm sulphur-rich water flows over limestone terraces into natural pools. Bathers soak in the steaming water in the countryside. It smells of sulphur but feels fabulous, especially in cooler months. Bring a swimsuit, flip-flops and a towel, and expect a smell of eggs that locals call part of the charm.
