One of the most visited tourist attraction in Turkey, Pamukkale

Pamukkale, which is meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural formation. This place called "White Heaven" is located in Denizli province in southwest Turkey. Pamukkale, one of the most popular tourist centers in Turkey, is visited by approximately two million tourists every year. This place, unique in the world, was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988 with Hierapolis.

How were The Travertines of Pamukkale (Thermal pools) Formed?

Terraces of the natural masterpiece, which has been serving as a hot spring for a thousand years, are rocks formed by deposition as a result of a chemical reaction that can be experienced for various reasons. Precipitation occurs as a result of the release of carbon dioxide when thermal water, rich in calcium carbonate, evaporates under the sun. These thermal waters are a white cotton structure in gel form in the first place. The structure then solidifies, turning the surface into crystallized rocks. In this region, there are 17 hot water sources with temperatures ranging from 35-100 °C.

Ancient City Of Hierapolis

The magnificent ancient city of Hierapolis, as a result of research, is estimated to have been founded in the 2nd century BC during the reign of the Kingdom of Pergamon. The ancient city of Hierapolis, one of the most important ancient cities in the world, is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, just like the travertines. Although Hierapolis lost its distinctive features because it was damaged by earthquakes, some structures from the Roman period have managed to survive to the present day.

Ancient Pool (Thermal Pool)

This pool, also known as Cleopatra's pool, as a result of an earthquake in the 7th century BC, was formed by self-filling a thermal water supply to an area where the column fragments were destroyed. Cleopatra pool has been said to cure many diseases such as skin problems, circulatory problems, and rheumatism since the past.

This natural pool, which offers a summer-winter swimming experience in healing waters along with historical ruins, has an average temperature of 36 degrees throughout the year.
