Pamukkale Springs: Turkey

Do you want to experience a new kind of shower? Well, try bathing in hot springs at Pamukkale. Pamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish, which is located in western Turkey. This is the site of nature and famous tourist attractions. This unique hot water is 2700 meters and 160 meters in length and height can be seen from a distance. Approximately 250 liters of hot water that contains large amounts of hydrogen carbonate and calcium increased from the spring every second. This natural phenomenon leaves thick white layers of limestone and travertine flows down the mountainside, resembling a frozen waterfall.
Let us move from Asia to Europe, the second smallest continent.
