Nature does give us wonderful miracles and it would be a sin if we avoid Pamukkale from the list of most beautiful places in the world. Pamukkale is a site of hot water springs and travertines founded in Denzili Province, Turkey. They are formed in a pattern of terraces which are actually made of carbonate minerals. Also the site is provides the view of ancient city Hierapolis nearby.
The area has 17 hot water springs with temperature ranging from 35 °C to 100 °C. Water from the springs travel about 320m and deposit Calcium Carbonate on the surface. As these waters are highly saturated with Calcium Carbonate, they release Carbon Dioxide to the air. Finally the water and air acquires a dynamic balance of Calcium Carbonate and seize to deposit. These depositions of Calcium Carbonate are jelly like but eventually they turn into travertines.
Pamukkale is insanely famous for these terraces and hot water springs because not only they are rare but beautiful in every way. Also many tourists get here to have the one of a life time experience of hot water bath. Mind you, your are not allowed to wear shoes when you step into the waters in order to protect the deposits.
