Pamukkale, 18 km north of Denizil, is Turkey's foremost mileral bath spa because of its natural beauty, hot calcium -laden waters spring from the earth and cascade over a cliff.As they cool down they form dramatic travertines of hard, brilliantly white calcium that form pools.
For thousands of years,people have journeyed to bathe in these hot springs, which range in temperature from 35 degrees to 100 degrees celsius.
The warmth of the water is not only the appealing aspect of these thermal pools,however.Equally as attractive is the striking contrast between the glistening pools and the travertine.Travertine is a type of limestone deposited by thermal waters which makes up the surrounding mountains.
