Pamukkale, Natural thermal springs and travertine terraces in Denizli Province, Turkey.
The white limestone terraces of Pamukkale cascade down the hillside, filled with mineral-rich thermal waters ranging from 35 to 100 degrees Celsius.
The ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis was established near these thermal springs during the 2nd century BC, becoming a significant healing center.
The thermal waters continue to draw visitors who follow the traditional bathing practices established by Romans through designated pathways and pools.
Visitors can access both the travertine terraces and Hierapolis ruins with a single entrance ticket, with the site opening at 6:00 AM throughout the year.
The mineral-rich waters of Cleopatra's Pool allow swimmers to float among submerged ancient Roman columns and artifacts from the 2nd century.
