Thermal springs are the key attraction of Pamukkale

The thermal springs called travertines were formed about 400,000 years ago. It was due to the exposure of a huge amount of mineral water with an increased calcium content.

With the time passed, the waters gradually evaporated and, consequently terraces were formed and got covered with white calcium deposits. They’re called the travertines. As early as 1988, according to the UNESCO regulations, most of them had to be closed for tourists in order to preserve the natural heritage in its original form.

Tourists are now able to visit these thermal springs and even swim in this healing water during scheduled tours. It is a beautiful place to relax your body, soul and take a series of colorful photos to memorize the trip.
