For amateur photographers, there is always an opportunity for the perfect picture; maybe against the backdrop of the Taurus Mountains or a cotton field ready for harvest. The highlights of the trip are of course a walk over the sintered terraces of Pamukkale, a swim in an ancient swimming pool and a stroll through the Roman spa town of Hierapolis. Your Vianobilis team wishes you a pleasant journey with plenty of inspiration!
The journey takes you to places of old cultural sites from the times of the Lycians, Carians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, first Christians and Seljuks.
Hierapolis (ancient Greek "Holy City", occasionally Hieropolis) was an ancient Greek city in the Phrygia region in Asia Minor.
Even if the city, as a presumably old Cybelekult shows, probably existed earlier, the oldest evidence comes from the 3rd century BC. BC, when it was newly founded by Antiochus II, as well as its neighboring city Laodikeia on the Lycus. Older traces of settlement are covered by layers of travertine.
landmarks
• Odeon from the time of Hadrian
the agora
the nymphaeum
• City gates south & Domitian
the main cobbled street
• Temple buildings
Roman baths (some of which were converted into religious buildings in early Christian times)
• the necropolis
Necropolis
More than 1200 graves lie in front of the north gate of Hierapolis. They belong to the largest ancient city of the dead in Asia Minor.
Only about 5 kilometers outside of Denizli province and about 11 kilometers south of Hierapolis, a visit to the ancient city is an ideal alternative to the overcrowded Pamukkale. The river Lykus, called Çürüksu ırmak by the locals, was a tributary of the meander and formed the basis of life for the historically ancient city of Laodikeia, whose spelling also appears with Laodicea.
Bathing possibility in Kleopatra Termalbad.
