On the road from Kaş towards Demre, hidden on the right side, lies a secret paradise known mostly to locals. Burguç is a natural sulfurous spring bubbling up from underground. For centuries, people have come here for its healing properties, and today it remains a favorite spot for those looking to cool down and experience natural therapy.
Why Should You Visit Burguç?
The Ultimate Icy Shock: The water temperature stays around 12-13°C (54°F) year-round. Entering this water when the Antalya sun hits 40°C feels like a complete system reset! It might take your breath away at first, but you’ll feel incredibly light and revitalized afterward.
Sulfurous Healing: The water has a distinct sulfur scent (similar to eggs), which is a sign of its rich mineral content. It is widely believed to help with rheumatism, joint pain, and various skin conditions.
Natural Pool Experience: The spring flows into a shallow area surrounded by stones, forming a natural pool. It’s perfect for sitting down and letting the mineral water provide a natural massage.
Practical Information for Travelers:
Entrance: The area is open to the public and free of charge.
Facilities: There is a small café operated by the municipality, along with changing rooms and toilets. It’s a local spot, so don’t expect luxury, but it has everything you need for a quick stop.
Getting There: Located about 45-50 minutes from Kaş. Look for the sign just after the Demre industrial site on the way to the town center.
