Brilliant white travertine terraces spill down the hillside, filled with warm turquoise pools. Above them stands Hierapolis, an ancient spa city where people have come to bathe for more than two thousand years.

Pamukkale means 'cotton castle', and from a distance the terraces look exactly like it. Up close they are warm, shallow pools of mineral water. Combine them with the ruins of Hierapolis, a swim in the Antique Pool and a morning balloon flight for a day you will not forget.
