The water’s high salinity and unique composition—rich in hydrogen sulfide, potassium, and sodium—are believed to offer therapeutic benefits for skin, joints, and respiratory conditions.Visitors can swim in the lake’s turquoise waters while small *fish (Garra rufa)* provide a natural exfoliation—a quirky, spa-like experience.
