You’ll want to linger for a long time at Pamukkale – a town near the Turkish city of Denizli that’s famed for its legendary hot springs. The mineral-rich waters cascade down terraces of limestone, where travellers wallow and bathe - a tradition that harks back to the Roman Empire - while enjoying the superb views of the Curuksu Valley. Pamukkale holidays can also be tied in with a visit to the timeworn spa town of Hierapolis – an ancient city built on hot springs with spectacular relics of the Roman Empire, including temples dedicated to Apollo and Artemis.
