Pamukkale
An unusual natural and historical site with sparkling white castle - like cascades, Pamukkale is one of the highlights of
Turkey. The dazzling white calcareous castles are formed by limestone-laden thermal springs, creating the unbelievable
formation of stalactites, potholes and cataracts. The water of Pamukkale is famous for its benefit to the eyes and skin; and
its curing properties of the ills of asthma and rheumatism. The remains of the ancient Hierapolis are situated on the back of
the thrilling white terraces, standing proudly in the area.
