Kaklik

This place is called underground Pamukkale in miniature. Wooden stairs lead to the cave. The ceiling and walls are covered with calcareous water and remind the travertine terraces of Pamukkale. The water is blue and turquoise because of the minerals in it.
Hydrogen sulfide sources provide the cave with a specific smell which has determined the name Kaklik. It is translated as «stinky». There’s a small pond on the surface where turtles and ducks live.

Colossae

This ancient city appeared in BC and existed until the XII century. It is notable for the surviving ruins of the buildings of the Christian and Roman period. It was the birthplace of Metropolitan Michael Honiath of Athens and his brother Nikita (a Byzantine writer).

Pamukkale and Hierapolis

Pamukkale has two main attractions – the ancient city of Hierapolis and geothermal springs. The latter forms travertine terraces which are the calling card of the resort. This is an incredible natural complex that is popular not only for its healing properties, but also for its extraordinary scenery.
Nowadays, Hierapolis is an open-air archaeological museum. People here began to build houses many centuries BC. Hierapolis has got plenty of significant objects:
– The ruins of the temples of Apollo and Pluto;
– Martyrium of Saint Philip;
– the ancient necropolis is the largest in the country;
– reconstructed Roman theatre.
