Hey boys and girls,

as I promised in my article from yesterday to everyone who’s interested in visiting amazing new places here’s my second suggestion about Turkey: the travertine terraces of Pamukkale.

Pamukkale is an area located in southwestern Turkey. The distance from Cappadocia to Pamukkale is only 615km so if you have already done your magical hot air balloon flight why not continuing the fairy tale and visiting these great natural thermal springs.

Getting there

The easiest way to get from Cappadocia to Pamukkale is by bus. It will take you around 10 hours. My advise is to take a night bus. In this way you will save a lot of time. That’s how I managed to fit Cappadocia and Pamukkale in only 5 days and I can say I saw all major spots.

The second option is to take a flight to Denizli Airport.

What exactly is Pamukkale?

Pamukkale means “cotton castle” in Turkish. The place is famous for carbonate mineral left by the flowing water.

The combination of the snow-white limestone and blue water creates a unique effect. I want to mention here that all of my photos have no filter! I don’t know if there’s any other place in the world where you can observe this natural phenomenon. If there is, please let me know. I will be happy to explore it.

Apart from the thermal springs Pamukkale has been part of the ancient Hierapolis (Holy City). It’s been neglected over the years but if you’re interested in history you can enjoy visiting the museum and seeing the Roman ruins.

Are you still not sure if you want to visit Turkey?

Then may be my last photo of the famous Turkish delights will convince you to go there :)

I hope you liked this article.
