Pamukkale



















We stopped in Pamukkale on our way to Ephesus...the mountain is covered in white and we teased Ella we were going to play in the snow...the waters contain calcium hydro carbonate and are supposed to have healthy healing qualities. People have been visiting Pamukkale for their health since Ancient Times. One of the legends is that a young but ugly unmarried girl decided to die as no one wanted to marry her. She threw herself off the Travertines of Pamukkale and fell into a pool but did not die. She became very beautiful because of the waters and soon she married the son of the Lord of Denizli....Jessie
