PAMUKKALE

North of Denizli a road leads to Pamukkale, the site of a unique natural phenomenon, and to the important archaeological zone of Hierapolis. The name Pamukkale means Castle of Cotton and this is particularly apt in describing one of the most extraordinary landscapes to be found in nature. Here, in a landscape fascinating in its own right, the action of various minarel springs which contain calcium oxides has left fantastic concretions on the travertine structures.
