After seeing this snow-white landscape you might be thinking that how these people ventured to dive deep in such cold water or these thrilling structures are natural or manmade? But if I say that the water is hot and it is as warm as one requires to bath, it will surely stumble you.
Pamukkale (Hierapolis) meaning “cotton castle” is located in Denizli in the Aegean region of Turkey. It is the most preferred destination (unique in the world) which draws tourists not only from Europe but also across the world. 
These geological formations are the results of hot thermal springs (calcium oxide-rich waters) pouring down the southern slope of Caldag located north side, over the millennia, built up deposits of white travertine on the plateau. It looks as if it’s made out of snow or balls of cotton. 
The grounds of white travertine gleam under the sun, as the waters flow mildly over. Since the earliest times of history, Pamukkale has been chosen for its healing mineral waters. The site today is a fine spa-center with its warm pools and numerous facilities provided nearby. UNESCO christened Pamukkale as one of the eminent cultural heritages of the world.
Nearby is the ancient “Hierapolis” (the Holy City), on the apex of the plateau you’ll find the remains of the ancient city.
Major Attractions:

How to reach there:
The widespread network of buses (and inexpensive) will be a better way to get you from the larger town of Denizli to Pamukkale. You can also rent a car, but avoid driving in Turkey as auto accidents rates are comparatively high than other places in Europe. Tourists are also advised to avoid political gatherings and demonstrations due to the traditional tensions between Iraq and Turkey.
