About Pamukkale
Pamukkale, a stunning natural wonder, boasts pristine white cascades formed by its calcium-rich hot springs. With 17 hot water springs in total, the carbon dioxide in the water dissipates as it reaches the surface, allowing the calcium bicarbonate to settle and create the mesmerizing white terraces of Pamukkale. A visit to this awe-inspiring site is a must, a true feast for the eyes. Stroll along the terraces, and you might even have the chance to take a dip in the ancient pool’s hot healing waters.
Perched above the hot springs of Pamukkale, lies Hierapolis, a formidable ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in the 2nd century BC by the King of Pergamon, Hierapolis later became a Roman city, renowned for its sanctuaries and thriving trade center. Notably, Hierapolis was known for its production of purple dye and textiles, a reputation that continues to this day.
Venture just beyond the city, and you’ll discover the spot where Saint Philip was martyred on the hills. Although it remains uncertain whether this is Philip the Apostle or Philip the Evangelist, the crypt is considered a sacred site. Hierapolis also boasts a remarkably preserved Greek-style theater perched on a hillside, a must-see for history and theater enthusiasts alike.
With its blend of pagan roots and Christian traditions, the remains of Hierapolis offer a captivating glimpse into the past for those who appreciate historical sites and ancient ruins.
A few kilometers from Pamukkale, you’ll find the Red Spring Water, another highlight of the town. The water’s mineral content gives the calcium terraces striking hues of red, green, or brown, adding to the region’s natural allure.
