The Cotton Castle: Pamukkale’s Marvel
Pamukkale, known as the “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, is famous for its otherworldly terraces of white mineral-rich thermal waters cascading down the mountainside. These stunning terraces have been formed over thousands of years by the flow of calcium-rich thermal spring waters. As the water flows and cools, it leaves behind a crystalline, chalky residue that has created a surreal landscape of pure white terraces.
