Where Should I go: Pamukkale or Lake District National Park?
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.
Lake District National Park
Believe it or not, there are many incredible places to visit in England other than just London! Lake District National Park is definitely one of them. Located in North West England, this area truly captures the beauty of the pristine English outdoors. Of all the national parks in the UK, the Lake District is visited the most, especially during the summer season. The tallest peak and the deepest lake in England are located here, and they are beautiful.
