Where Should I go: Pamukkale or Snowdonia 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.
Snowdonia National Park
Snowdonia National Park is in North West Wales and is known for its outstanding natural beauty. Mount Snowdon is located in the park, which is the highest peak in all of Wales. There are many campsites and hiking trails, as well as traditional Welsh pubs and shops. English is one of the languages spoken in Snowdonia, however 75% of the population, which is 121,000, speaks Welsh.
