Pamukkale 2 days tour from Antalya

Pamukkale 2 days tour from Antalya

Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site located in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. This area is renowned for its stunning white travertine terraces formed by calcium-rich thermal springs. Here are some key details:

Geology and Natural Features

• Travertine Terraces: These terraces are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate from the hot springs. The water flows down the mountainside, forming beautiful, milky-white terraces.
• Thermal Springs: There are 17 hot springs in the area with temperatures ranging from 35°C to 100°C. The thermal waters have been used for their healing properties since ancient times.

Historical Significance

• Hierapolis: The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on top of the travertine formation. Founded by the King of Pergamum in the 2nd century BC, it was a major center for health and healing. The city includes well-preserved ruins such as a theater, temples, and baths.
• UNESCO World Heritage Site: Pamukkale, along with Hierapolis, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 due to its natural beauty and historical significance.

Tourism

• Cleopatra’s Pool: This ancient pool, filled with thermal waters, is believed to have been used by Cleopatra herself. Visitors can swim among the submerged columns and ruins.
• Karahayit: Nearby Karahayit offers red thermal waters with unique mineral properties.
• Hot Air Balloon Rides: For a unique perspective, visitors can take hot air balloon rides over the terraces and ruins.
