Pamukkale, yeraltı kaynak sularının içerdiği kireçten oluşmuş havuzlar. Türkiye'nin en tanınmış doğa harikasıdır. Denizli ilindedir. 2700 metre uzunluğunda ve 160 m yüksekliktedir. Parlak beyaz rengiyle Pamukkale'yi 20 km uzaklıktan görmek mümkündür. Ayrıca Pamukkale'de antik havuz, antik tiyatro, Arkeoloji Müzesi gezilmesi gereken yerlerdendir. Tepesinde Roma'dan kalma Hierapolis adlı kutsal antik şehir bulunur. 5-10 km yakınında Laodikya antik kenti bulunur. 5 km ilerisinde ise uluslararası bir termal merkez olan Karahayıt köyü vardır. Karahayıt'ta termal turizm ve kaplıca hizmeti verilmektedir.

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in south-western Turkey in the Denizli Province. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. It is located in Turkey's Inner Aegean region, in the River Menderes valley, which has a temperate climate for most of the year.

The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the white "castle" which is in total about 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) long and 160 metres (520 ft) high. It can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the town of Denizli, 20 km away.

Tourism is and has been a major industry. People have bathed in its pools for thousands of years. It has been badly damaged in some areas, and so there are now efforts to restore the springs.
