The least expected cotton castle in Turkey is beautiful!

Located in the city of Denizli, Turkey, it is also a famous spa resort and the only limestone landscape inscribed on the World Heritage List.

The real day is really beautiful!! All right!! Became one of my most memorable memories in Turkey, none.

The white cotton castle with mountains and water, known as "the most beautiful hot spring in the world", has been a hot spring resort since the Greek times, and legend has it that Cleopatra once bathed in hot springs here. The local guide said that the Cotton fort is expected to disappear completely in 10 years, mainly because of the irrational development at the beginning, the waste water was discharged, so we are lucky to see it now!

Also be sure to visit the neighboring ancient Greek city of Hierapolis, which is also part of this World Heritage site. The word "Hierapolis" comes from the Greek word meaning "holy city", which also objectively explains the history of this ancient city.

The ancient city of Hierapolis was founded in the 2nd century BC of the ancient Greek kingdom of Pergamum, after the continuous improvement of the ancient Romans to the peak of prosperity, however, even if the human is strong and can not resist the force of nature, a nearly perfect ancient Roman city in an unprecedented earthquake immediately into ruins, leaving only the ruins of the walls.

Romantic while decadent, probably best describes the cotton fort. It is romantic to set foot barefoot on the white stalactites of Cotton Fort and feel the fairyland created by the magic of nature. Walk to the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis at the top of Cotton Fort Hill. Rubble everywhere, ruins standing on the top of the mountain overlooking the world, always make people feel desolate and solemn.

Cotton Castle, Turkey: How to turn a World Heritage Site into a water park?

Enter the summer Turkey can play water again! Cotton Fort is definitely a different choice! Many people say that the cotton fort is deceived, that is not to find the right way to open! This is the Maldives in the mountains of Turkey! Want to enjoy the freedom of water in the World's natural and cultural heritage? Come with me!

Correct way to open:
Cotton fort is tens of thousands of years of water formation of calcification pool, so the current protection is particularly strict, after entering the scenic spot to take off shoes barefoot wading up the mountain, many people can not stand the pain of the bottom of the foot to walk a section of the road to give up, this section of the road is actually the most people the water the muddy road the worst section.

After this section reached the top of the mountain is a large observation platform and some shops, pay attention to the right side of the observation platform and then walk a way to the wooden boardwalk, here is the location of the photo, many blue calcified pool water clear to the bottom, you can also overlook the entire scenic spot, there are tourists here to play water but not many people, I would like to call it "cotton fort water park" haha! The pool is very shallow, can not swim can also go down to play water!

I was told to wear socks. I was told not to

Walking to take off the shoes has begun to see my favorite blue-green pool began to excitement, a lot of people, some have soaked. Shoes must be taken off but socks and diving socks can be worn, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you step on rough terrain. The point is I saw a guy fall and cut his foot.

Slowly go inside, but where a little aesthetic you can avoid tourists to take a lot of good looking photos, there is no need to retouch the picture, different times and different weather will appear different tones, are all without filter all the original picture straight out!

The fierce sun shines on these "cotton" white so that people can not open their eyes, just like in the snow mountain, the white one, even I was compared to a second to turn black (may also be really tanned), when the sunset "cotton" into the color of popcorn, soaking in the hot spring who knows the ancient people to enjoy such a sense of atmosphere

What a sigh of good to come! Because it is true that most of the pool has dried up, this natural beauty is slowly disappearing is inevitable, although the scenery has been much worse than before, but I feel that the sunset is not enough, maybe I personally love this blue and green.
