Pamukkale
Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) lies at the start of a series of mountain ranges in a rural setting inland from Selcuk. The little village below this spectacular wonder is small and mainly tourist driven, but in a rural sort of light. We saw the pictures of Pamukkale in Piet and Wilhelma’s photo album and decided there was no missing this one. Pamukkale is a cascade of turquoise water collecting in lilly pad shaped baths naturally formed by the high calcium carbonate in the water which deposits to form these beautiful white terraces. It’s just spectacular and hence the name “Cotton Castle”. On top of these travertines is the ancient city of Hierapolis, with it’s awe-inspiring Necropolis…more on that next
