Pamukkale The Travertines

Pamukkale The Travertines

Pamukkale means "cotton castle". It is Turkey's foremost mineral-bath spa because of its natural beauty: hot calcium-laden waters spring from the earth and cascade over a cliff. As they cool they form travertines of hard, brilliantly white calcium that form pools like shell-shaped basins. Pamukkale is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It looks spectacular to me and I wish to see it!
