Day 2: Pamukkale & Hierapolis expand_more
Visit Pamukkale Travertines and Hierapolis. It is an ancient city that is the center of natural thermal spring waters with healing properties. Due to the chemical properties of the water, pure white coloured travertines and stepped water terraces have been created on the mountain slope. Due to its resemblance to cotton piles, it is called ´Cotton Castle´ in Turkish.
Swim the thermal waters on the way to a 4-star hotel for lunch.
Then visit the travertines and the ancient city of Hierapolis, which has the biggest Nekropol with 1200 gravestones in Anatolia. Their shallow thermal waters ripple over a wonderful scattering of ancient Roman ruins that lie beneath.
