Terraces have been formed on the side of a hill some 400 m above sea-level. The Limestonebearing water originates from a natural spring with a temperature of 35 °C. When the lime settles, the sight resembles heaps of cotton. It is due to this resemblance that this region is called Pamukkale, which means "Cotton Castle".
The Pamukkale terraces are spread over a 4 km wide area. With its pools of water, and travertines, these terraces offer visitors unending pleasure at sunset with the tricks of light played.
