🇹🇷Turkey Pamukkale A huge travertine with flowing hot spring water

📍PAMUKKALE, meaning Pamuk (cotton) Kale (castle)

A huge cotton castle created by the natural accumulation of limestone over a long period of time
As the limestone that flowed with the groundwater cools and hardens,
the Pamukkale limestone shelf is currently growing larger.

When entering Pamukkale, bare feet are a must!

The moment you step on Pamukkale with bare feet, you will writhe in pain,
but this is a rule that must be followed in order to preserve Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
(Prepare a bag or bag to put your shoes in, and spare clothes!)
If you endure the limestone shelf that naturally exerts acupressure,
you will be able to step on the ground where warm underground water flows.

When you dip your feet in the water, the bottom is soft, so your feet don't hurt.
There is limestone that has not hardened yet in the water, so it feels like you are stepping on an incredibly soft sandy beach.

During the Roman era, many emperors visited Pamukkale.
The reason is that it is a beautiful resort,
but it is also said that the underground water flowing from Pamukkale is effective for skin diseases and heart diseases.

Now, Pamukkale's nature has been greatly damaged, so water does not flow as much as it used to, but it is still a very beautiful and magnificent place.

I think we should make efforts to prevent such a beautiful and mysterious place from being damaged any longer.
