Pammukkale, the cotton castle
by Paula Ballikaya, Swiss Federal Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL, Birmensdorf, Switzerland
There is no surprise Pamukkale is among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Its unique beauty leaves the visitors speechless and amazed. The carbonate mineral left by the flowing of thermal spring water contributes to the formation of travertine terraces.
