When to go to Pamukkale?
Hot springs have been depositing calcite here for millennia, leaving a hillside of white terraces and shallow warm pools you walk through barefoot. On the plateau above stands Hierapolis, with its theatre and its long colonnaded street. Cleopatra's Pool lets you swim among fallen marble columns in water that stays at bath temperature.
