According to the myth, Venus loved to look at herself reflected in its crystal-clear waters before meeting Bacchus. In this sulphurous lake lives an algae that can withstand high temperatures and creates the precious <strong>greenish-black natural mud<\/strong>. The smell of sulphur is intense, but spreading the mud on the skin gives the effect of a miraculous natural scrub. The <strong>wellness tour<\/strong> on the island of Pantelleria includes the natural baths of <strong>Cala Gadir<\/strong>. Here you can find tubs carved in the rock and the temperature ranges between 40\u00b0 and 55\u00b0C.

It was <strong>here that Ulysses met the goddess Calypso<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe ceiling of the cave is made of pumice stone, while the floor is made of bricks. The water reaches 40\u00b0 C and flows into two pools, one of them is connected to the sea.<br \/>\nThe thermal waters of <strong>Cala Nik\u00e0<\/strong> flow from the cliff and mingle with the sea water. They reach a temperature between 85\u00b0C and 100\u00b0C. The water also runs into small natural pools where you can have a bath and enjoy the therapeutic benefits.
