PAMUKKALE TOUR  /  

Departing from

Pamukkale is a hill formed from the lime of spring waters. It is Turkey's best-known natural wonder; and Denizli. Pamukkale is 2700 meters long and 160 meters high. It is possible to see Pamukkale from a distance of 20 km with its bright white color. Also, the Antique Pool, Ancient Theater and Archeology Museum in Pamukkale are must-see places. On its top is the sacred ancient city of Hierapolis, which is from ancient Rome. The ancient city of Laodicea is located 5-10 km away. 5 km ahead, there is Karahayıt, an international thermal center.

Pamukkale, which has hosted many civilizations for centuries, is one of the most important tourism centers of Turkey with its unique appearance and traces of history on its territory. These waters, which heal many visitors with their thermal waters, create a visual feast with the travertines they form. Pamukkale, which takes this name with its whiteness and cottony appearance of its travertines, welcomes millions of local and foreign tourists every year.

Pamukkale is one of Turkey's tourism paradises with its 'cure-all' healing waters and travertines. Pamukkale, which is on UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage List, where nature and history meet, is one of the alternative centers for sea tourism in Turkey. Pamukkale, Denizli's window to the world, hosts over 1 million local and foreign tourists annually with the visual richness offered by travertines.

The healing thermal water, which has made Pamukkale a settlement center for thousands of years, is also the source of life for the world-famous white travertines of the region. It is stated that the thermal springs in Karahayıt and Gölemezli, which are right next to Pamukkale, are good for rheumatism, heart, stomach, atherosclerosis, blood pressure and skin ailments. Some hotels in the region provide services for health tourism with their expert personnel trained in thermal therapy. The thermal pool in Pamukkale, with its 35-degree water that does not change in summer and winter, also allows the tourists coming to the region to have a pleasant time.

Pamukkale, which is intertwined with the ancient city of Hierapolis, is 20 kilometers away from the city center. B.C. Founded in 197, Hierapolis, Hz. One of the apostles of Jesus, St. It also stands out in terms of faith tourism, as Philip was killed here and a mausoleum was built in his name. The historical artifacts found in the excavations are exhibited in the Hierapolis Archeology Museum.

After the healing thermal waters of Beyaz Cennet Pamukkale, which fascinates those who see it with its cottony appearance, calcium carbonate precipitates in it. This structure is initially in the form of a soft gel. It hardens over time and becomes "TRAVERTEN". The healing thermal water, which has made Pamukkale a settlement center for thousands of years, is also the source of life for travertines. Unique travertines are Denizli's window to the world.

The word travertine comes from the Roman name 'Tivertino' of Tvoli, where extensive travertine deposits are found in Italy. Travertine is a versatile rock that is formed by precipitation as a result of chemical reaction, depending on various reasons and environments. The geological events that created Pamukkale thermal springs affected a wide region. In this region, there are 17 hot water areas with temperatures ranging from 35 to 100 °C. Pamukkale thermal spring is a unit within the regional potential. The source has been used since ancient times. After the thermal water comes out of the spring, it comes to the travertine head with a 320 m long channel, from which 60-70 meters of it is poured into the travertine floors where precipitation occurs. Here, the water travels an average of 240-300 meters. In the layered pools and layered embankments, the precipitating calcium carbonate is initially in the form of a gel. It hardens over time and becomes 'Travertine'.

The effort of thermal spring water to transform into normal conditions causes precipitation and travertine formation. As a result of the excessive amount of calcium bicarbonate in the thermal water and the water coming to the surface, carbon dioxide is released and calcium carbonate precipitates. The precipitation continues until the carbon dioxide in the thermal water and the carbon dioxide in the air come into equilibrium.
