Soak Your Feet In Pamukkale Travertines

The white limestone terraces of Pamukkale travertines formed naturally through mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down the hillside over thousands of years. UNESCO added Pamukkale and nearby Hierapolis to its World Heritage list in 1988. Walking barefoot through the shallow warm pools is among the most famous things to do in Turkey, especially for travellers combining nature with ancient history.
