Turkey - Pammukale Cotton Castle

The name Pammukale means Cotton Castle in Turkish, and and it gets its name from this white "snowy" limestone hill in the background.


People have bathed in these pools for thousand of years. The 33C waters of Pammukale is famous for its benefits to the eyes and skins, as well as its curing properties for asthma and rheumatism

Parts of the ancient city of Hierapolis, built on top the white castle. An ancient spa of sorts.
