Cotton Castle in Turkey

  Have you ever felt like your whole body was excruciating and so jaded out that you couldn't even open up your eyes? Well if your answer is yes than go and take a relaxing spa vacation to Cotton Castle, located in the southeastern part of Aegean, Turkey. Even in the dead of winter, the hot springs are as toasty as clouds. Right when you step into the lovely steamy water all your worries will float away.  Cotton Castle is sure to make you glow and make you feel like a happy little feather who has no weight to hold itself down. The waters are crystal clear and even have healing minerals! It is believe to heal your body and eyes. Many people believe that it is magical. It is even said to be a remedy for asthma. The reason that it looks like clouds is because of all the steam that goes up from the steamy hot springs. The thing that I find interesting  it is that Cotton Castle is located over the Temple of Apollo. Not only is a good place to relax but it also contains some history. Cotton Castle all started when the Romans were inspired by the rock formations and all the warm baths and decided to turn it into a spa city,Hierapolis. It was also a religious practice by the priests of Cybele in a cave, Plutonium (place of the god, Pluto). Another thing that is so fascinating is that they found a way to survive the suffocating gases within the cave.Cotton Castle is a humongous tourist attraction and is sure to make your day. All you have to do is have fun and bring your swim gear!  Would you like to go visit Cotton Castle in Turkey?
