White Cliffs of Pamukkale

Modern Fethiye is located on the site of the ancient city of Telmessos and was the most important city of Lycia, with a recorded history starting in the 5th century BC. Fethiye is one of Turkey’s well-known tourist centres and is especially popular during the summer.

Today we drove to Pamukkale. The name Pamukkale means “cotton castle”, is one of the most remarkable natural sites with its cotton white plateaus,
pale blue waters topping of the shallow pools and gently cascading down the drape-like stalagmites onto the lower levels for over 300 feet. The city contains hot springs and travertine, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.
All agreed that this location was one of the most striking and unexpected highlights of the entire trip.
