The best time to visit this wonderland is between June and August. However, if you can’t take the scorching heat, you can travel in the autumn season as well. Explore the incredible travertines and enjoy paddling in the crystal blue waters.
This mineral-rich water has health-giving properties and one can even take a dip in them. And yes, no Instagram filters needed for the beautiful pictures here! A quick safety tip for your Pamukkale trip: The travertine floor can be slippery in places and some of the limestone pieces have sharp edges. So, be careful. The white rock terraces of Pamukkale resemble something otherworldly. ‘Cotton castle’ in English, this natural wonder formed over millennia from limestone deposited by calcium-rich waters, creating warm, milky-blue thermal pools. You can bathe, as the Romans once did, in these pools and gaze skyward, or make your way uphill to enjoy the panoramic views from the top.
