You'll regret not visiting the Cotton Castle in Turkey!!
Let's start with a summary, you'll regret not going to the Cotton Castle, but you'll also regret going.
The place is quite special, but there is a certain degree of difference from what is advertised online. The white terraced landscapes are formed by the calcification of thermal spring water, and such a terrain is indeed worth seeing. However, due to commercialization or development reasons, it has been somewhat spoiled.
The entrance fee for the Cotton Castle is 700 lira, which is less than 200 RMB~
Once inside, you can't wear shoes, you have to walk barefoot, so I recommend visiting in the spring and summer seasons, it's really cold in winter!!! And the thermal spring water in winter, it's really not hot either.
We drove there ourselves, which was actually quite convenient~
The Traveling Epicurean s Diary
Beginning of the summer is the best time to visit travertines of Pamukkale. We enjoyed this beautiful healing thermal pools. Unique cotton white hill.
Pamukkale, the milk knocked over by God 🍶🥛. Turkey is a very distinctive attraction. You need bare feet to go up, the feeling of feet is a bit rough, there are staff on the spot to maintain order, and you need to avoid taking pictures. This place is worth a visit.
Pamukkale is a natural site in Denizli province in southwest Turkey, known for carbonate minerals left by hot spring water flows. The ancient Greek city of Hirapolis was built on a limestone layer and has attracted tourists to its hot springs since the classical era.
The first contact with the cotton Fort hot spring pool is in "Sister Fancy", Lin Zhiling swimming in the hot spring pool, showing great stature. Since then, the cotton fort and the beautiful cotton Fort hot spring pool has produced a vision. After visiting the cotton castle, we went to the cotton Castle hot spring pool above the cotton castle. The cotton Fort hot spring pool is also the ancient Roman bathing pool. The water is the water of the cotton fort. Whether it is playing, swimming or playing, it is perfect. The ticket is 32 lira per person, and it's worth it personally. Most of the swimmers are Europeans.
The underground hot spring water that arrives at the famous cotton fort is constantly pouring out from the ground. It contains rich minerals such as lime. After many years, the lime aggregates and forms cotton-like rocks, which are stacked in layers, forming natural and spectacular rock groups and pools. You can swim in the spring or enjoy the natural hydraulic massage from the spring. It is said that it has the effect of treating hypertension, rheumatism and skin diseases.
