Arrived at the hotel for lunch, after that we went to Pamukkale and visited the famous calcium terraces Pamukkale, literally means "cotton castle" in Turkish and is located in Denizli Province of Turkey. The formation of the so-called castle took place after several earthquake eruptions and the emergence hot springs, especially the ones rich with mineral.
