The Story Of Pamukkale

The Legend:
The waters of Pamukkale are thought to have beautifying properties due to the legend of a poor and ugly local girl who threw herself off the cliffs in desperation of never finding true love. However, she did not die but remained unconscious, soaking in the pools of Pamukkale until she was found by a Denizli Lord who thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. They fell in love at once and were married, living happily ever after.
Pamukkale means “cotton castle” in Turkish
and it’s not hard to see why. These white travertine natural pools have been slowly formed over thousands of years and resemble fluffy clouds of cotton, one of the main exports from this area.
How were the pools formed? 
There are 17 hot water springs feeding this mountainside. The water is supersaturated with calcium carbonate and as it is exposed to the air, carbon dioxide is released and the calcium carbonate is deposited on the mountain forming these amazing terraced pools.
The natural pools are not always full of water. 
It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and just like at Niagara Falls the water flow is controlled to preserve the site, in this case the beautiful white travertine pools that make up this amazing mountainside. While there was no water in the natural pools during our visit, the manmade pools are always full for those interested in taking a dip. The natural pools are allowed to fill with the hot spring water more frequently in the tourist season.
