Pamukkale Travertenl

The water is lukewarm and the pools are clean and clear. Water is just knee high so it’s a pleasure to just wade around and get your feet wet. Some areas were closed off for cleaning. Quite a few photographers available to take memorable pics. This place is breathtakingly beautiful. With the rolling hills in the background and fluffy clouds in the distance, ancient ruins surrounding the area, you are transported to another realm it seems. Be sure to take a dip in Cleopatra’s pool. Water temperature is a little hotter. You can literally smell and taste the minerals in the water. The bottom of the pool is filled with loose pebbles and columns that collapsed in ancient times. Excellent setup for swimming with lockers and changing rooms easily accessible at a cost of 130 Turkish Lira. #2023travelwish #summervacation #turkey

#bucketlistreboot Trust me, the actual view of the thermal pool is super nice but it’s not possible to take from top to below. note that the limestone is sharp and edgy so it’s really hard to walk. I think I can give advice to bring beach shoes. Did I mention that there is no safety rail available and next to you is the cliff. A small footpath runs up the mountain face for us to use, however the travertine terraces are all off-limits, having suffered damage over time I guess or too many ppl walking on the same path. Free of charge to bath there but don’t mind ppl just put their feet into the water . Mineralised water , not thermal but spring water so it’s cooling.

Travertines of Pamukkale

You'll regret not visiting the Cotton Castle in Turkey!!

Let's start with a summary, you'll regret not going to the Cotton Castle, but you'll also regret going. The place is quite special, but there is a certain degree of difference from what is advertised online. The white terraced landscapes are formed by the calcification of thermal spring water, and such a terrain is indeed worth seeing. However, due to commercialization or development reasons, it has been somewhat spoiled. The entrance fee for the Cotton Castle is 700 lira, which is less than 200 RMB~ Once inside, you can't wear shoes, you have to walk barefoot, so I recommend visiting in the spring and summer seasons, it's really cold in winter!!! And the thermal spring water in winter, it's really not hot either. We drove there ourselves, which was actually quite convenient~

Pamukkale Hot Springs

#fallishere The color of the water with the calcium deposited rocks made a beautiful contrast. The white mountain in the background with hundreds of pools filled with bright blue water made the whole scenery very stunning. The water was refreshing and you need to walk carefully to avoid slipping. You do have to be careful when walking into the area, no shoes or socks allowed in the enclosed area and the walk could be uncomfortable when doing so bare foot. Take your time and make sure to go all the way down to the main thermal pools as that is where you get the best views and experience. Take note that the place can get very crowded with tourists.

Turkey, Cotton Castle

This is the most beautiful view of Cotton Castle. It was the captivating white that drew me to Turkey. When you visit Cotton Castle, be sure to take off your shoes and soak your feet in the bubbles. Most hotels in Mianhuabao also have hot springs, remember to bring your swimsuit. Nowadays, it's not every day that you can see such a view in Mianhuapu. Only during major festivals will the water be released to its full capacity, and usually only a portion of the sluice gates will be opened.

Pamukkale is one of the most visited spot in Southern Turkey because of its unique Thermal Salt baths. Salt and minerals compounded and created the white bed of salter baths across the area of Pamukkale.

( (8 o'clock) opened the first batch of entrances, although there are no tourists on the main road, but ... there is no water? ? ? Surprised to find the staff behind the scenic spot to open the water, this...? ? ? ? ? ? OK.. then I wait... As Bolivia has fallen over the big horse, I said that here is the shortcomings of barefoot and horse killing chicken... Very good, I actually continued to live again, it is rare to buy a ticket, you have to use enough!

[Hirapolis Ancient Hot Spring Ruins] Free admission to the Pamukkale Scenic Spot tickets, but the hot springs are charged separately for 20 lire/person. Here is the hot spring pool of the ancient Roman ruins. Imagine the scene of the wine pool in the wine pool. Now I feel that the hot spring pool is super comfortable, not to mention the non-polluting royal natural hot springs of that era. Today it is like a small playground, garden grass, hot spring pool, and a row of food and beverage outlets. Come here, in front of the legendary millennium hot spring that nourishes your skin, decisively change the bikini prepared in advance, and go down the soup! In the hot springs, I have embraced several Roman stone pillars, real ruins!
