Pamukkale (meaning `cotton castle' in Turkish) in the province of Denizli in south-western Turkey, is characterized by its unique, sparkling white travertine formations. The terraces are created by the hardening of carbonates deposited by the flowing water, as carbon dioxide degasses from it. In mythology, the Titans spread their clothes here to dry, and the scenery is as magical as it sounds.
