Pamukkale

Pamukkale (turski za "Pamučna palača") je kompleks jedinstvenih mineralnih izvora u jugozapadnoj Turskoj, u blizini grada Denizlija. Lokalitet se sastoji od toplih izvora i vapnenca travertina koji ima neobičan oblik plitkih terasastih bazena, nastalih prelijevanjem mineralne vode i taloženjem minerala.

Na njegovim toplicama izgrađen je antički grad Hierapolis u 2. stojeću pr. Kr. kao liječilište. U Hierapolisu se nalaze ostaci kupatila, hramova i drugih starogrčkih i starorimskih spomenika, te originalne ranokršćanske građevine, zbog čega je 1988. godine, zajedno s toplicama Pamukkale, upisan kao UNESCO-va svjetska baština.

Ovo područje se nalazi u dolini rijeke Menderes koje ima umjerenu klimu skoro cijele godine. Dugo je oko 2,000, a široko 600 i visoko oko 160 metara. Pamukkale ima 17 izvora u kojima voda ima temperaturu od 35 °C do 100 °C. Od njih se voda prolijeva nekih 320 metara do padine gdje se u terasama prelijeva preko padine duge 60-70 metara. Kalcij-karbona u vodi se taloži i naposlijetku postaje vapnencom, a ugljen-dioksid se otpušta. Oko 499.9 mg CaCO3 se taloži svaki dan iz svake litre vode u savršenim klimatskim uvjetima.

I was there last summer and unfortunatelly there is almost no water inside of it. The water is less and less because a lot of farmers are taking water from springs for their purposes and also some factories do it as well. So dont expect the same view like years ago. But it is still gorgeous place worth to visit.

Looks like snow, but isn't. A must visit place if you are in Turkey - completely unique sight and experience. Walk along the pools, spend some time wading in it or just simply sit and dip your toes :)

Good place to visit. Worth the walk under the sun if you like to see historical things such as the ruins during the Byzantine Era. Walk down the terrace for an unforgettable experience.

A UNESCOWorld Heritage site, definately a must-see. Great photo opportunity at sunset. Hierapolis archaeological site is there, great ancient theater. Swim in the ancient pool (extra cost).

If you want a hotel to stay, go for Ozbay Hotel. The people are nice, strategic locations(so close with cotton castle n ATM is just in front!) & the services are just awesome!

Amazing place. I've never seen anything like it!! Do not go to and pay for Cleopatra's Pool. Go walk down to the natural pools and wade there. Just make a left instead of a right into Cleopatra's.
