Popšica Natural Pool and Kuşadası Coast Attract Summer Tourists

A natural pool near the Serbian village of Popšica, about 30 km from Niš, has become a popular summer spot. Fed by a thermal spring called “Grlo,” the water stays around 22 °C year‑round, is turquoise and constantly refreshed at 15–20 L per second, and entry is free. Visitors praise its crystal‑clear water, surrounding greenery and the claim that the water benefits skin and circulation, though no medical verification exists. The site has drawn large crowds after viral posts on TikTok and Instagram, prompting advice to visit early or on weekdays.

Kuşadası, a coastal city on Turkey’s Aegean shoreline, remains one of the region’s top holiday destinations. Known for its long sandy beaches, clear sea, and lively atmosphere, the town also serves as a gateway to historic sites such as the ancient city of Ephesus, the House of the Virgin Mary, and the Pamukkale terraces. It offers a mix of marina walks, waterfront restaurants, traditional bazaars and a vibrant nightlife, appealing to families, couples and active travelers alike.
