The least expected Pamukkale in Turkey has amazed me!
Pamukkale is Turkey's "new generation of beauty"
The most dreamy tourist spot
Located in Denizli, Turkey, it is also a well-known hot spring resort, the only limestone landscape listed on the World Cultural Heritage List. Before coming to Turkey, Pamukkale was the spot I least expected, mainly because the internet said the difference between the picture and the real thing was too big, and some people even said the water smelled bad🥲
The reality was super beautiful that day!! Okay!! It became my most unforgettable memory point in Turkey, without one. 😍
♨️The white Pamukkale with mountains and water, known as "the most beautiful hot spring in the world", has been a hot spring resort since the Greek era, and it is said that Cleopatra once bathed here. The local guide said that Pamukkale is estimated to disappear completely in ten years, mainly due to the initial unreasonable development, wastewater discharge, so we are lucky to see it now!
Also, be sure to go to the adjacent ancient Greek city ruins of Hierapolis, which is also part of this World Heritage 🏛️. "Hierapolis" comes from Greek, meaning "holy city", which objectively explains the history of this ancient city. The ancient city of Hierapolis was founded in the 2nd century BC by the ancient Greek Pergamon Kingdom, and after continuous improvement by the ancient Romans, it reached its peak of prosperity. However, even the most powerful humans cannot resist the power of nature. A nearly perfect ancient Roman city turned into ruins after a unprecedented earthquake, leaving only ruins. 🤯
Romantic and decadent, probably the best description of Pamukkale.
Barefoot on the white stalactites of Pamukkale

Walk to the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis at the top of Pamukkale

It always makes people feel desolate and tragic
This is decadent😕
