7Pamukkale, Turkey
Pamukkale, which translates to “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, is famous for its white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down the mountainside.
Visitors can walk along the terraces and take a dip in the thermal pools while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The nearby ancient city of Hierapolis also offers a rich historical context, with well-preserved ruins and the opportunity to bathe in the ancient Roman pool, known as Cleopatra’s Pool, filled with submerged columns and thermal waters.
