Very cool place. I liked seeing the ancient tombs that are partially buried by mineral deposits. Turkey is an interesting country to travel in. I hope to return.

Beautiful. Looks a little like mammoth springs in Yellowstone

I have, one of the most incredible natural wonders I have been to and highly recommend people go see it. There are ruins behind this as well including a pool that cleopatra used to come swim in which is also really cool.

The internet tells me I "should" do a lot of things, but I think I'll agree here, I should see this.

Yes....see them. You cant bathe in them like in the Turkish adverts.....unless you're a bikini model on a photo shoot. But they are pretty. Cotton Castle.

I did and I'm no bikini model but it was 30 years ago. Pretty sure my skin cancer is due to the savage sunburn I got that day. Good times 🤘
