Swimming pools are strange and bizarre and wonderful story of Pamukkale has been appreciated for more than two millennia, but still little is known as a wonder of the world. Thousands of years ago an earthquake occurred in Turkey in general, and formed fractures that emit a strong hot water to bring the water that is rich in calcium carbonate to the surface. As the water evaporates, the material and form a thick layer of limestone travertine layer and thus gradually build a wall all the time in the same manner as that forming stalactites in the cave.
