Pamukkale Travertines and Calcium Pools
Pamukkale, which translates to "Cotton Castle," was designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1988. This natural phenomenon, featuring stunning white calcium cliffs and mesmerizing turquoise pools, is truly a sight to behold. Upon arrival, it feels as though you've stepped into an alien landscape.
Cleopatra’s Pool
A visit to Pamukkale wouldn’t be complete without taking a rejuvenating dip in the sacred spring of Cleopatra’s Pool. Swimming in the vibrant waters of this magnificent pool should be on every Turkey travel itinerary. At the bottom of the crystal-clear pool lies an impressive array of striated columns and column capitals, a beautiful reminder of the pool’s ancient heritage.
Hierapolis Ancient Site and Archaeological Museum
After exploring the unique terraces, take a short walk to the ancient city of Hierapolis, also known as the 'Sacred City.' Just outside the main entrance lies the Necropolis, which houses over 1,200 tombs and sarcophagi, intended for those wishing to be buried here. Among these tombs stands the Martyrium, believed to be the spot where Saint Philip was martyred around AD 80.
Hot springs and steaming fissures in the area were thought to ease the journey to the Underworld, making the Baths of Hierapolis especially popular among vacationing Romans. Dominating the landscape is the Great Theatre, a massive structure intricately carved into the hillside, offering a glimpse into the city's historical grandeur.
