Pamukkale is one of Turkey’s most breathtaking sights and a place that truly feels like something out of a dream. Known as the “Cotton Castle,” its dazzling white terraces cascade down the hillside, filled with shimmering pools of thermal water. The natural formations look like frozen waterfalls, soft clouds or snow-covered steps glowing under the sun — a truly unforgettable sight.
Just above the terraces lies the ancient city of Hierapolis, where history and nature come together beautifully. Founded in 190 BC by Eumenes II, King of Pergamon, the ruins include impressive gates, streets and theatres that offer a fascinating glimpse into life during ancient times, all set against a stunning backdrop.
One of the highlights of the visit is the famous Sacred Pool, also known as Cleopatra’s Pool. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing swim among ancient columns and ruins submerged beneath the warm, mineral-rich waters. High in calcium and believed to have beauty-enhancing properties, legend says Cleopatra herself once bathed here.
Combining natural beauty, history and relaxation, Pamukkale is a truly magical experience and a must-see destination that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
