Pamukkale, meaning 'cotton castle' in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The area is famous for a carbonate mineral left by the flowing of thermal spring water, creating a stunning landscape of white travertine terraces and crystal clear thermal pools. Visitors can walk along the terraces, take a dip in the warm mineral-rich waters, and explore the nearby ancient city of Hierapolis, which was built on top of the travertine formation. The site has been a popular destination for visitors since ancient times, and it was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Families can enjoy the natural beauty of the area, explore the ancient ruins, and relax in the thermal pools, making it a great destination for a family trip
