8Pamukkale, Turkey – The Cotton Castle

Pamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural wonder in southwestern Turkey.

Its terraces of white mineral-rich thermal waters have been formed over thousands of years by calcium deposits from the hot springs. Visitors can walk on these terraces, which look like cascading layers of cotton, and even take a dip in the warm, healing waters. Nearby, the ancient city of Hierapolis adds historical depth to this unique destination.
