      The view of Pamukkale is like that of a glacier stretching across the grassland. The translation from Turkish is โ€œCotton Castleโ€.

Cleopatra is alleged to have swam in one of the pools, which is open to the public (optional entry to Cleopatraโ€™s Pool). Nearby are the ruins of Hierapolis, where the Roman baths converted into a church during the Byzantine era, the Baths and the Theater are located.
