Travertines of Pamukkale
The travertines at Pamukkale are a natural wonder located in western Turkey. Formed by the limestone deposits of mineral springs, the terraces at Pamukkale, translating literally to cotton castle, are a popular tourist attraction due to their surreal beauty and warm spring water. Pamukkale is also in close proximity to the ancient Roman ruins of Hierapolis.
