Where Should I go: Pamukkale or Koblenz?

Pamukkale

Pamukkale is in southeastern Aegean Turkey and is historically a spa town that has been in existence since the 2nd century BC. It is popular with tourists for its beautiful hot springs and travertines, or pools that are coated in a very unique calcium covering. The area is very rich in mineral content and the water, which has been flowing for thousands of years, has deposited calcium in each pool. This unique whiteness creates an unworldly beauty that draws visitors from around the world. If you're visiting during the summer months when the sun is out in full force, don't forget the sunscreen, as the white reflects the light and you can end up with a sunburn quite quickly. You'll also want to make sure you have sunglasses available because the glare can be quite extreme.

Koblenz

Tucked into Germany's most beautiful corner, you can wander through this historic town and explore the ruins of Rhine Gorge and admire the view from Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. Koblenz is situated on the banks of the Rhine and Moselle rivers and is a central German city. Amidst the low mountain ranges, a city filled with history, enriched by culture, and blessed by natural beauty makes Koblenz popular for both its historic and aesthetic value. Adorned with ancient buildings, informative museums, and breathtaking monuments, this sleepy city brings to life the tradition of old Germany. However, despite its ancient origins that loom over the city, Koblenz is also a city that has easily modernized and adapted to the demands of the present day. Malls, restaurants, bars, clubs - Koblenz is a city for both the young and old hearts.
