Turkey: The Heart of Travertine Production
Denizli, in southwestern Turkey, is the undisputed capital of travertine production. The region's geological formations produce travertine in a stunning range of colors — from ivory whites to deep walnut browns, with silver, gold, and even red varieties. Turkish travertine is exported to over 100 countries and used in everything from luxury hotel lobbies to residential pool surrounds.
