I had no idea what a nymphaeum was, and somehow I expected it to be some perverted roman thing. Turns out it's just a fountain place used for nymphae cult and some large ones double as a place for weddings...

Won't say what I imagined.

Don't worry, you can enjoy the nymphs at the theatre. Tetimimi. It's a special attraction that's basically a stripper show in a pool.
