Highlights of this tour:
Pamukkale,
Located 20
kilometers from the town of
Denizli in the Aegean region of
Turkey, Pamukkale is one of the
most interesting places in the
world, justly famous not only
for the entrancing beauty of its
unique geological formations but
also for its historical remains.
The calcium oxide-rich waters
flowing down the southern slope
of Caldag located north of the
ruins have, over the millennia,
built up deposits of white
travertine on the plateau thus
fully justifying both the site's
ancient name of Hierapolis (Holy
City) and its modern one of
Pamukkale (Cotton Castle)
Pamukkale
is an extraordinary wonder of
nature. The calceouse water rise
from the ground at a temperature
of 36,5 Celsius degrees and
tumbles down the mountain from a
height of 100 meters, forming a
myriad of pools. Cream- colored
stalactites are formed as the
water overflows the pools,
creating a breath – taking sight
unequalled in the world. Water
is the architect of this
gleaming fairy – castle
resembling cotton or spring
which are recommended in the
treatment of heart diseases,
circulatory problems, high blood
pressure, nervous disorders,
rheumatism, eye and skin
diseases, nervous and physical
exhaustion, digestive maladies
and nutritional disorders
Itinerary :
After pick up
from the hotel, we start our
journey to Pamukkale, which
takes about 2,5 – 3 hours, with
break on the way for
refreshment.
First we
will visit Red Springs, just
outside Pamukkale – boiling
waters of which have emerged
from thousands of feet below the
Earth’s surface to form ribbons
of deep red, blue and yellow on
the surrounding rocks.
After this we
are heading to town for lunch,
open buffet ( drinks are extra
charge ).
Next we
visit the ruins of Hierapolis –
the Theatre, The Temple of
Apollo, Christian Basilica, the
ancient agora ( market ). This

in Anatolia with more than 1200
tombs that range in date from
the late Hellenistic period to
early Christian times. We will
then view the calcite terraces
of Pamukkale, you will have free
time to explore them.
