Cotton Cliffs

Pamukkale’s Cotton Cliffs, known as the “Cotton Castle,” form one of Turkey’s most distinctive natural wonders, created by millennia of mineral-rich thermal waters cascading down the hillside. These deposits shaped brilliant white travertine terraces filled with warm, turquoise pools, creating an otherworldly landscape visible for miles. The site is also home to the ancient city of Hierapolis, adding archaeological depth with its theater, necropolis, and sacred thermal baths. Visitors can stroll barefoot along designated pathways, enjoy striking views of the Menderes Valley, and experience a rare blend of geological beauty and classical heritage.
