Day 1

Pamukkale Travertines; Pamukkale, which translates as "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural location with hot springs and travertines, or terraces of mineral carbonates, that have been left behind by the water flowing there throughout time due to its moderate environment. Pamukkale is considered to be the earliest spa on earth and its hot springs were believed to have healing powers. The unique terraces were formed by running warm spring water at a temperature of 35 C, containing calcium bicarbonate.
