Cotton Castles in Türkiye

By Linda Tancs

Pamukkale (meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish) is a town in western Türkiye known for the mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces on a nearby hillside, which does resemble a kingdom made of cotton. Legendary for its healing claims, it’s been a flourishing spa destination since ancient times. The closest town is Denizli, which is serviced by a bus terminal, train station and airport.
