Pamukkale, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famous for its stunning white terraces and ancient urban remains. This natural wonder, situated in Turkey’s Denizli Province approximately 310 kilometers from Belek, is often compared to the United States’ Yellowstone National Park. However, Pamukkale’s terraces, known as the “Cotton Castles,” feature white rock formations as opposed to Yellowstone’s yellow ones. These formations are continuously shaped by mineral-rich waters originating from the historical sites of Hierapolis and Necropolis.
From afar, the terraces appear to shimmer with a blue hue. The name Pamukkale itself translates to “cotton castles” in Turkish, which becomes evident as one draws nearer. Although they may seem like snow-covered hills from a distance, upon closer inspection, you’ll find that the terraces are composed of solid, non-slip rock. They only become slippery in places where green algae is present.
For centuries, Pamukkale has been a destination for visitors seeking the curative properties of its waters. Beyond the healing waters, the ancient cities of Hierapolis and Necropolis await exploration at the summit, serving as a gateway to these remarkable geological formations.

We were hesitant to travel so far on a day trip from Belek, but Ali, our incredibly amiable and informed guide, made it an excellent day out. The scorching swim at the Cleopatra pool was fantastic. The tour of the ancient city was intriguing, and Bekir was excellent at pointing out the sights. Pamukkale is a sight to behold.
When I saw these white rocks, I thought I was in a fairy tale; they’re breathtaking.
