Waters in the terraces are the sediments of the springs with calcium bicarbonate in 33C. Waters, containing mainly calcium salts and carbon-dioxide, run off the plateau's by depositing calcium while carbon-dioxide disappearing.
The marvelous landscape of Pamukkale has been created by this gradual formation, leaving a cotton-like image. The
water of Pamukkale is famous for its benefits to the eyes and skin; and
its curing properties to the ills of asthma, rheumatism, as well. The
fairyland Pamukkale is a must-see traveling through this region, during a holiday in Turkey.2 - in: http://www.kusadasi.biz/pamukkale/
