Visiting Pamukkale Thermal Water Springs In Turkey

Karahayıt, Pamukkale, Turkey Friday, February 28, 2025

Pamukkale waters are not sulphurous, although warm (39°C/102°F) outdoor pools felt nice when the temperature was close to freezing. Pamukkale thermal waters are muddy, radioactive and mineral rich but lack the special effects of sulphurous water.

We figured them out on the road in 140 countries during the past 20 years .
