The least expected Cotton Castle in Turkey blew my mind!

In Turkey🇹🇷, the least expected Cotton Castle (Pamukkale) turned out to be insanely beautiful!|||Cotton Castle (Pamukkale) is Turkey's 'new generation of beauty icon' The most dreamy tourist attraction Located in Denizli city of Turkey, it is also a well-known hot spring resort, and the only limestone landscape listed in the World Heritage Sites. Before coming to Turkey, Cotton Castle was the place I had the least expectations for, mainly because the internet said there was a big difference between the photos and the reality, and some even said the water smelled bad🥲 The reality is that it was super beautiful that day!! Seriously!! It became the most unforgettable memory of my trip to Turkey, without a doubt. 😍 ♨️Cotton Castle, with its mountains and waters, is known as 'the most beautiful hot spring in the world.' It has been a spa resort since the Greek era, and it is said that even Cleopatra bathed here. The local guide said that Cotton Castle is estimated to disappear completely in ten years, mainly due to the initial unreasonable development and the discharge of wastewater, so we are very lucky to be able to see it now! Also, you must visit the adjacent ancient Greek city ruins of Hierapolis, which is also part of this World Heritage Site🏛️. 'Hierapolis' comes from the Greek language, meaning 'holy city,' which objectively explains the history of this ancient city. Hierapolis was founded in the 2nd century BC by the ancient Greek kingdom of Pergamon and reached its peak of prosperity after continuous improvements by the ancient Romans. However, no matter how powerful humans are, they cannot withstand the force of nature, and an almost perfect ancient Roman city was reduced to ruins after an unprecedented earthquake, leaving only remnants. 🤯 Romantic yet decadent, probably the best way to describe Cotton Castle. Barefoot on the white travertine of Cotton Castle Feeling the wonderland created by the natural craftsmanship This is romantic💕 Walking to the ruins of Hierapolis at the top of Cotton Castle Amidst the scattered stones, the relics stand quietly on the top of the mountain overlooking the world Always giving a sense of desolation and grandeur This is decadent😕 🚗Transportation: Take a minibus from Denizli bus station to Cotton Castle, the ticket costs about 4.5 lira, and the journey takes about 30 minutes, with a bus every 15 minutes. 🧾Ticket: The ticket price for Cotton Castle is 700 lira, Turkish bath and sightseeing bus are charged separately, or you can choose to buy a hot spring combo ticket. 🚶Best Time to Visit: Spring and autumn are the best, early morning or just before sunset is the best time to visit Cotton Castle. I went there before sunrise early in the morning!
