Pamukkale Turkey | Hierapolis | Our Travel Vlog

We travelled to one of the most scenic places in Turkey: Pamukkale (Denizli Turkiye)!!!
This place literally translates to “Cotton castle” and offers a stunningly unique landscape with Thermal travertines and historical Roman architecture – Hierapolis, one of the most notable ruined cities in Pamukkale It is located within the Denizli Province, in the River Menderes valley to the south-west of Turkey.

The Legend of Pamukkale
Like every mysterious place in the world, Pamukkale has a strong legend that makes this place even more appealing. People believe that back in the hay day, there was a Turkish young girl that no one wanted to marry because she was ugly. Depressed, the girl tried to commit suicide throwing herself off the mineral travertine. She fell into a natural pool and survived the fall. The water in the pool turned her into a beautiful girl who caught the attention of the Turkish lord, Denizli, while he was passing by the spiritual site. He fell in love with the girl and decided to marry her. That is why people nowadays believe that in addition to the health benefits, the rocks in Pamukkale can make you more beautiful.

Up until the 1980s, Pamukkale was exclusively a local destination in Turkey because of not many people outside of the country knew the benefits of the water. But then Turkish people decided to represent and develop Pamukkale as a spa center. Motels and resorts were raised and the land became clear, the road up the slope was converted into pools, and visitors were allowed in them to walk, play, splash and even soak.

We highly recommend you to visit the white cliffs early morning - it’s very hot during the day in summer. Also don’t forget to grab a big bottle of water (or 2), hat and sunscreen lotion. You can buy them inside but it’s more than twice the price.

This unique natural site embraces the ancient Roman city called Hierapolis which has the largest known graveyard of the antiquity that gives this site another unique character. Hierapolis, World Heritage site since 1988 with Pamukkale, means "sacred city".
The historical artifacts found in the excavations are on display at the Hierapolis Ruins. Tripolis Antique City in Buldan Country, Colossea Antique City in Honaz Country, Tabea Antique City in Kale Country, Apollonia and Herakleia Salbace antique cities in Tavas Country are other important antique settlements located around Hierapolis.

the Antique Pool and Cleopatra’s Pool. One might find it interesting to know that the shape of the present day Antique Pool has been formed due to an earthquake in the 7th century A. D. The marble portico with an ionic arrangement fell into the pool during the earthquake and remains like that till today.

A bath in Cleopatra’s Pool has always been known to possess healing properties. It is actually a thermal pool where the water temperature ranges from 36 to 57 degree Celsius. The pool water is rich in substances like bicarbonates, sulphates, iron and carbon dioxide. As can be gathered, the water of the spring is suitable for taking baths and drinking, and can be found to be beneficial.
