Pamukkale, which has been used as a spa since the second century BC, literally means "cotton castle" in Turkish.
The travertine features have their origins in the shifting of a fault in the valley of the Menderes river (between here and (Denizli). As the fault shifted, very hot springs with a very high mineral content (notably chalk) arose at this location. Apart from the slightly radioactive minerals, the calcium and hydrogen carbonate react to create calcium carbonate (also known as travertine) and limestone. This is what gives Pamukkale its whiteness and created the pools.

Turkey has become a popular tourist destination in recent years. Its ancient history, rich culture and exquisite cuisine are attracting more and more visitors every year from all over the world. Turkey’s location in the center of Asia and Europe bestows it a unique importance which no other country enjoys. Pakistan and Turkey are close allies in the Muslim World and in the world politics. Every year, hundreds of thousands Pakistanis visit Turkey. Some of them plan exclusive torus while a large number of them visit Turkey while on transit flights.
