One place I've always wanted to visit is Pamakkale in Turkey. Located in Denizli Province, this little known wonder of the world contains travertines (a sedimentary rock) with beautiful clear-blue hot springs. These thermal pools surfaced thousands of years ago due to fractures created by earthquakes. The water is rich in calcium carbonate which mixes with the carbon dioxide in the air, and through some crazy process, the travertines that look like frozen white waterfalls came to be. The carbonate minerals in the water smooth your skin and probably possesses other therapeutic properties. Sounds like a good way to relax to me!
