Pamukkale, Turkey
Pamukkale is a series of thermal springs, whimsically carved "steps" in the snow-white limestone slope. Today, not only tourists who want to see the miracle of nature come here, but also those whose goal is to improve their health, and they are happy to dive into the shallow travertines. Among those open for swimming, one of the most popular is "Cleopatra's Pool".
The attraction is located at a distance from tourist centers, therefore, going here from the nearest resort town, you need to be prepared for a long journey. By the way, fragile limestone travertine walls are sensitive to damage, and walking on many of them is prohibited. In order to walk on others, you will have to take off your shoes. Compliance with this rule is closely monitored by security.
