As we approached we could see the amazing and world renowned Cotton Castle rock formation created by the hot springs depositing white crystalline travertine. Having seen many pictures during previous visits to Turkey I was slightly disappointed as I had pictured a larger area but it was still wonderful to see.
As with many natural wonders Pamukkale is a victim of its own popularity because of the proliferation of spa hotels, each taking some of the spring water to fill their own thermal pools, the flow of water has reduced and the feature is looking decidedly grey.
All on the same site is the ancient Roman ruins of the city of Hierapolis.
