Pamukkale is one of the most interesting places in the world and located 20 kilometres from Denizli, in the Aegean Region of Turkey. The town is famous for its unique geological formations and also for its historical remaining. Its geological beauty: the calcium oxide-rich waters flowed down from the southern slope of Caldag over the millennia. The Caldag is a small slope located north of the ruins. Consequently now you are able to admire this “cotton castle” with its snow-white terraces formed by the thermal waters cascading down the hillside.
