Until the beginning of the nineties it was allowed to swim in each basin of the cascade. Because of pollution by tourists that was forbidden. Meanwhile, it looks like it used to.

Hiking

Long since declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, these snow-white terraces impress with a breathtaking view. The terraces were created by the evaporation of hot, calcareous thermal water from the springs, from which, by the way, 250 liters of carbonated and calcium-rich thermal water are still flowing every day. The deposits look like cotton wool, which is why Pamukkale also got the name "cotton castle".
