Pamukkale is located in the Denizli Province of southwestern Turkey. The area contains numerous hot springs and white terraces formed by travertine, a sedimentary rock. The waters are known for their healing qualities, and people have bathed in the natural pools for thousands of years. Legend says that after Cleopatra swam in the pools, she appeared 20 years younger.
