The resort Hierapolis used to be there, it was repeatedly visited by the Roman emperors. Among all the landmarks, the residues of the Roman streets, the Apollo temple, Plutonium, the Roman thermal baths, the amphitheater and the biggest Turkish necropolis have survived to these days.

People say “The one, who doesn’t visit Pamukkale, doesn’t visit Turkey.” And it’s hard to argue with this statement.

It is a unique nature phenomenon! It is the thermal resort, formed a couple of thousands years ago. The calcium-rich water flew down the hillside and created pearly white terraces and small pools.

The healing powers of these waters were famous from the ancient times. It is recommended to use the hot springs for treating such diseases like nervous disorders, rheumatism, eyes and skin diseases, indigestion etc. In translation from Turkish, the word “Pamukkale” means “the cotton castle”.

In Pamukkale you can bathe in the pearly white travertines and take the bright photos “in the snow” or “in the salt”, as tourists call this place.

You can also bathe in the Kleopatra Pool! It is the thermal pool with the mineral water where the temperature is +36ºC in winter and in summer. It cures huge number of diseases and brings lots of bright emotions!

5

The last point of your trip will be the incredible Salda Lake. It is the crater water body of a volcanic origin and the deepest freshwater lake in Turkey. White sand and crystal bright-blue water are the reason why this lake is called “the Turkish Maldives”. Enjoy the authentic wild nature, sunbathe and swim in the waters of this paradise place!
