Pamukkale, heaven on Earth

This place is a treasure for me because it has an incredible, magical view ! How can I describe this beauty with words? Beautiful is a small word, the cotton castle is a mix of colours : trees are green, the lake has an aquamarine colour with a background white, can you imagine? Some cabins that blend in, are selling icecream.
Behind the forest a white mountain with puddles of light blue water. I am standing in front of the lake and I am excited to climb the mountain.
From my place people who are climbing seem to me really small and the mountain is hudge. What a terrific scene ! To climb, you need to take off your shoes, first step and first impression, you feel the white stone which is a little bit hard but while walking you feel the difference, not all the places have the same consistence, some of them are soft, slippery : it's powdered calcium, other parts are full of water, and here again different temperatures, you have the impression of putting your feet in a bowl. The water is really cold here and really hot there, you experience something new, your feet are changing temperatures and grounds. Did I talk about the view when you are on the top? or even when you arrive to the middle? It's fantastic, you can see the entire site, the beautiful colours, the sky, the view is just BREATHTAKING. You feel free, you feel good, you forget about everything just to admire this real postcard. Once at the top, the show is not over, the archaeological site Hiéropolis is waiting for you : arches, stones, everything historical with this colour of sand, a real eye rest and a must if you go to Turkey.
