The Incredible Terraced Chalk Ponds of Pamukkale

“What looks like a winter wonderland is actually a summer landscape with hot springs, crusted with calcium deposits. Pamukkale, in south western Turkey, is a natural mineral-bath spa first built by the Romans around a sacred hot spring and still open to the public as the Sacred Pool today.”

Pamukkale, Turkey

I’ve been to Turkey twice now and each time I didn’t get a chance to visit Pamukkale. Next time, it’s on. One of the very few things about traveling that frustrates me is that when you get home from someplace you’ve been, you see a picture of something awesome that you missed. And you would’ve gone but dammit you just didn’t know about it. In a way I guess it’s a good thing though, because then you always have a reason to go back.
