One-day Pamukkale Tour from Alanya

[:ru]

Pamukkale is one of the most popular tourist destinations. Being in Turkey and not being here is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. Breathtaking landscapes, snow-white travertines, rejuvenating the Cleopatra Pool prove the uniqueness of this place.

What awaits you?

Pamukkale is a calling card of Turkey. It is an amazing natural site in the Denizli region in the south-west of the country and is protected by UNESCO.
The word «pamukkale» is translated as a «cotton castle». Due to the high concentration of calcium carbonate in the water, cascades of thermal springs with white baths, which from a distance resemble a huge mountain of cotton, were formed here.
The tour includes visits to the main attractions of the region. It begins with an excursion in the city of Hierapolis, dated back to the 2nd century B.C. You will see:
– one of the largest amphitheaters in Turkey, accommodating 10,000 to 12,000 spectators;
– the largest ancient necropolis in the country;
– the fragments of the aqueduct;                                                                                   – the ruins of the church and other buildings.
After a walk around the ancient city, you will come to the famous travertines – limestone terraces of natural origin. You can swim in the Cleopatra pool, where, according to the legend, the last queen of Egypt took a rejuvenating bath.
Mineral-saturated water from thermal springs has beneficial effect on the skin, cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system. The underground fountain fills the Cleopatra pool with tiny bubbles that envelop the body, giving peace and comfort.
You will have free time to independently examine all the interesting objects and take many impressive photos.
Karahait village with red travertines and thermal springs is a 10-minute drive from Pamukkale. The water here is yellowish-brown because of the high iron content.
In Karahayit you are offered to visit a wine cellar, where you will have the opportunity to taste different sorts of delicious wines.
