Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south.

Turkey is the most beautiful country naturally in the world. You can argue for New Zealand but no way. No other country has more natural beauty packed into one space. Surrounded by five seas:Black, Bosporus, Marmara Aegean and the Mediterranean, Turkey is also blessed with mountains with spice-like striations, tons of glacial lakes like Uzungol, snow capped mountains tumbling into the sea on the exquisite unparalleled Black Sea coast, waterfalls everywhere in Anatolia, and travertines such as this one in Pammukkale. This place with natural turquoise pools and white stone looks like a more beautiful version of the moon. There is also an impeccable island with swans in a lake adjoining. Pammukkale is not to be missed if your desire is to see THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES in the world.

After walking all over Pamukkale and Hierapolis we found out abput these pools. Ancient Celopatra pool are stunning. It is ancient Roman place and today renovated pools of thermal water with original pieces of history arround you. Inside of pool you will see pillars and ancient columns and you can swimm arround them. We felt like Tomb Raiders :). It is not to touristic place since the entrence is not to cheap but tottaly worth it. I have to say the staff is super polite and friendly.
