Pamukkale was mooi om te zien. Was wel jammer dat er heel weinig info was gegeven over de trip zelf. Minimale reis van 3uur, heen en terug. Geen ontbijt inbegrepen.. wordt om 06.00 opgehaald dus op hotel ook geen mogelijkheid. Lunch, verschrikkelijk vies! niet te eten!! ps.. nog 3x zoveel betalen voor een drankje. belachelijk! Was heel jammer dat de info heel weinig was. Gids was geweldig, Pamukkale ook, maar zeker geen 102 euro waard..
Pamukkale means 'cotton castle' in Turkish – and you'll soon see why as you set eyes upon this magical landscape. You'll also visit the adjacent ancient city of Hierapolis. Both are UNESCO-listed, so it's a two-in-one deal of Turkish historical gems.
A sight to behold, Pamukkale is a series of mountainside terraces where natural springs have solidified into snowy-white stalactites and cliffs. The effect is a winter-like wonderland of petrified tiers and pools. People have bathed here for thousands of years, including Roman emperors. Follow in their footsteps and bathe in one of the thermal pools or simply stand at the top of Pamukkale and drink in the magnificent views.
Then it's onto to the ruins of ancient Hierapolis – a necropolis, temples, baths and much more. The theatre is a showstopper. You'll also have free time to check out the archaeological museum. It may be a long ride to get there, but it's definitely worth it.
