Where Should I go: Pamukkale or Newcastle upon Tyne?

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.

Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne is a port city located in northeast England with a population of about 250,000. It's popular with tourists in large part because it has what is considered to be the best nightlife in England. It's a diverse city with a lot of art, music, and sports. It also makes for a good starting point to tour the Northumberland coast and Hadrian's Wall. There's a distinct and rich culture in the area, much of which is centered around the Geordie culture with lots of folk music and traditional dance.
