The Turkish name meaning "cotton castle" is the perfect visionary phrase for the unusual natural landscapes found in the Denizli Province. Rock terraces and travertines are constantly inundated by the famous hot springs which flow slowly over the rock, leaving behind salt and mineral deposits that change the color of the landscape into a brilliant and pristine white sea. This unbelievable site is now a UNESCO World Heritage site and attracts more than two million visitors per annum. Most notable here is the terrace-like limpid pools, dating back in human history to early Roman periods.
