Cotton Castles

Pamukkale is an extraordinary natural wonder.  Also known as 'Cotton Castle', the calceous waters rise from the ground at a temperature of 35 degrees and tumble down the mountain from a heigh of 100 meters, forming a myriad of pools.  Cream-colored stalactites are formed as the water overflows from the pools, creating a breathtaking sight unequalled in the world.  

 

Water is the sole architect of this gleaming fairy castle resembling cotton or snow (hence its name "Cotton Castle").  In this wonderland is an abudance of hot springs which are recommended for thetreatment of heart diseases, circulatory problems, high blood pressure, nervous disordes, rheumatism, eye and skin diseases, nervous and physical exhaustion, digestive maladies, and nutrutional disordes.
