Pamukkale, located in southwestern Turkey, is a natural wonder renowned for its stunning white travertine terraces formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate from hot springs. The name "Pamukkale" translates to "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, reflecting the cotton-like appearance of the terraces. This UNESCO World Heritage site also includes the ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis, offering visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. The thermal waters, believed to have therapeutic properties, have attracted tourists for centuries.
