Pamukkale , meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli in southwest Turkey. This area is famous for carbonate minerals left behind by running water. It is located in the Aegean region of Aegean Turkey, in the valley of the Menderes River, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.
The ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis was built on a white fortress of approximately 2,700 meters (8,860 feet), 600m wide (1,970ft) and 160m (525ft) high. It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the town of Denizli, 20 km away.
Known as Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) or the ancient Hierapolis (Holy City), this area has been pulling tired into its hot springs since Ancient classics. The Turkish name refers to the glittering, white-colored, limestone surface of limestone, formed over thousands of years by calcium-rich springs. Drip slowly down the vast mountain, mineral-rich mineral foam and collect on the porch, spilling over the cascade of stalactites into the milk pool below. Legend has it that the formation is a compacted cotton (the main crop of the area) which left the giant dry.
Tourism and has been a major industry in the area for thousands of years, due to the appeal of thermal pools. Recently in the mid-20th century, the hotel was built on the ruins of Hierapolis, causing great damage. The approach road is built from the valley above the terrace, and motorbikes are allowed to climb up and down the slopes. When the area is declared a World Heritage Site, hotels are destroyed and roads are removed and replaced with artificial ponds.
Overshadowed by natural wonders, ruins and the well-preserved Pamukkale Roman museum has been underestimated and not advertised; Tourist brochures over the last 20 years mainly show photographs of people bathing in calcium pools. In addition to the small path that runs across the face of the mountain, the terraces are all currently forbidden, having experienced erosion and water pollution in the legs of tourists.

Geology
Pamukkale Terrace is made of travertine, sedimentary rocks precipitated by water from hot springs.
In this area, there are 17 hot springs where temperatures range from 35 ° C, 95 ° F to 100 ° C (212 ° F) Water emerging from springs is transported 320 meters (1,050 feet) to travertine core heads and calcium carbonate deposits in sections 60 to 70 meters (200 to 230 feet) long, covering a stretch of 24 meters (79 degrees). ) up to 30 meters (98Ã, ft). When water, saturated with calcium carbonate, reaches the surface, carbon dioxide de-gas from it, and calcium carbonate is stored. Calcium carbonate is precipitated by water as a soft gel which eventually crystallizes into travertine.

Tourist attractions
Pamukkale is a tourist attraction. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site together with Hierapolis. Hierapolis-Pamukkale became a World Heritage Site in 1988.
The underground volcanic activity that causes hot springs also forces carbon dioxide into a cave, called Plutonium, which here means "the place of the Pluto god". This cave is used for religious purposes by priests from Cybele, who find a way to appear immune to stifling gas.
Tadpoles can be found in the pool.
Protect hot water
The hotels built in the 1960s were destroyed because they drained the hot water into their pool and caused damage to the terrace. Currently, the water supply to the hotel is limited and they need to deposit water used for supplies to produce.
Akses ke teras tidak diizinkan dan pengunjung diminta untuk mengikuti jalur tersebut. Karena peraturan baru, pengunjung hanya diperbolehkan mencelupkan kaki mereka ke dalam kolam kecil, dengan alas kaki mereka dihapus.
