You know, there are a lot of places in Turkey that we want to visit, but haven't visited yet. And this time, we visited one of the most charming places on this list. And now it's all over again. We were traveling in Turkey for several days, and in the last city we visited before our return to Kemer (our favorite city in Turkey), we stayed in the last apartment on our way, which is located in the city of Pamukkale. If you have studied Turkey even a little, or if you have been to Turkey at least once, then it immediately became clear to you what place we are talking about. If not, then the intrigue is preserved. In any case, let's continue. The day after check-in, we headed to our long-awaited destination. Downstairs there was a very beautiful interior, a huge lake with dozens of ducks and geese. I was very surprised by all this. Everything around was so green. After a few minutes of being there, we continued our movement towards the entrance
And, check it out, Pamukkale is one of the most popular places to visit in Turkey. An extraordinary place full of magical atmosphere. This wonder is a cluster of blue baths, the color of clouds and sky, which gives the feeling that you are about to take off. Approaching the entrance, we were asked to take off our shoes. As I understood, this is because the structure of the place is extremely unique. After all, the structure of Pamukkale is like a huge cascade of white stone covering the terraces and steps. When seen from a distance, it looks like soft clouds descending from the mountains. The white color creates an impression of purity and lightness, especially under the sun's rays, when the stones shine and shimmer in shades from light gray to snow-white. Every detail of this structure adds to the overall mosaic image of Pamukkale, giving it unparalleled beauty and grandeur. We took off our shoes and remained in the same socks. But since it was Winter, our feet began to freeze. We walked down, took pictures of this beauty, and understood that in the future we cannot stay there. But this was not the main place. As we found out, the main part of this place was a little further away. And she was waiting for us tomorrow.
The next day we went to the official entrance. Here we were finally not forced to take off our shoes. After getting out of the car, very interesting slopes appeared before us. It turns out that in addition to the main place of visit, here also located ruins of the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis. But about it in another post. We climbed one of the hills that was near us. Sitting on the green grass near the glades with red flowers, we surveyed the scenery. I will tell you that it is impressive. After inspecting the territory and the scenery, we went straight to the main point.
It was quite a long and hot road, but finally we see this extraordinary beauty before our eyes. This is Pamukkale. Pamukkale looks like a lace of white spots woven into the green forests around. Under the sunlight, the water terraces shimmer with shades of white, silver and blue, creating a magical look. The water on the terraces has different shades from transparent to deep blue, which makes it even more fascinating.
They look like glaciers or waterfalls with crystal water. This beauty arose as a result of natural processes, when waters containing a large amount of minerals settled on rocky slopes, forming these unique forms. Blue bathtubs are like beautiful mirrors that just lie there and reflect the sky in themselves.

The Blue Baths of Pamukkale are a real gem among natural sights. Reflecting the heavenly world, they have a magical power to calm the soul and give a feeling of complete relaxation. These baths are beautiful, I don't deny that these baths are of angelic beauty, but nevertheless, a lot of information about them is not true. First - although these baths are called thermal and hot, the water temperature in the blue baths is always cool. The second - although many people say that you can swim there, swimming there is not allowed, on the contrary, it is prohibited. The most you can do is get your feet wet. The third - no matter how deep they say that the baths are, the greatest depth of the baths is slightly above the knees. But after all, they are a real pleasure for the eye. When you stand there and look at it all, it seems like a mirage.
