Pamukkale Travertines
Thermal waters of Pamukkale have offered healing to many people throughout history. Those who heard the reputation of this unique beauty and the healing it offered, came from different cities of Anatolia to Hierapolis for treatment and stayed here temporarily or permanently. It is understood from the grave finds in the surrounding area that the patients who were fascinated by this unique healing source completed their lives here.
Touching the snow-white travertines, created by thermal waters that give life to Hierapolis Ancient City (Hierapolis Antik Kenti) , is a completely different experience. Travertines of Pamukkale, with a fairytale look resembling a cloud field from afar, are one of the rare beauties where history and nature embrace. With its calcareous structure, snow-white color and the warmth of thermal water, they give an indescribable sense of texture. Most of this unique natural beauty is under protection so that it does not lose its authenticity. However, you can imagine yourself like the people of Antiquity by entering the healing waters in public areas where you can experience the special texture of travertines or by swimming in the ancient pool, also known as Cleopatra Pool.
