Pamukkale, Turkey

Pamukkale (which means “cotton castle” in Turkish) is a series of terraces (called “travertines“) created by highly concentrated limestone deposits from 17 hot water springs in the area. Since 200 B.C., people have flocked to the area believing the pools to have healing properties.
It is best described as numerous infinity pools that drop off to magnificent views of the town below.
