Pamukkale (Pamukkale – Cotton Castle) – one of the most amazing places in Turkey. The mountainside acquired its bizarrely unique shape due to thermal carbon dioxide springs. Calcareous deposits formed dazzling white cascades of limestone tuff terraces – travertine, formed as a result of the precipitation of calcium carbonate. The healing properties of these waters have been known since ancient times.
Pamukkale is famous not only for its mineral springs and snow-white travertines. Near the travertines is the most interesting ancient city of Hierapolis.
Inside Hierapolis there is Cleopatra's pool. The water in the pool comes directly from the hot spring located underneath, which releases thermal water to the surface. The water in Cleopatra's pool is not just warm and mineral, but also carbonated.
Excursion Pamukkale + Lake Salda from Alanya will allow you to see the site included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1988
Lake Salda. This is one of the deepest and cleanest lakes in Turkey and is of volcanic origin. Thanks to the white sandy beaches and clear water, the lake area began to be called the “Turkish Maldives.”
