White Terraces -Calcium Travertines
Daily Pamukkale and Aphrodisias Tour is one of the top Famous Turkey Trips. Pamukkale, or 'Cotton Castle' when translated it. The Turkish name refers to the extraordinary surface of the snow-white cliffs, shaped over millennia by the accumulation of calcium deposited by mineral springs. Dripping slowly down a vast mountainside, mineral-rich water foams and collects in bowls that terrace the decline down the mountainside, spilling over petrified cascades of stalactites into milky pools below. To protect the unique calcite surface, you must traverse the area barefoot.
Cleopatra's Pool
Before leaving Pamukkale, you should take a therapeutic dip in the sacred fountain of Cleopatra's Pool. At the bottom of the crystal-clear Pool is scattered a magnificent collection of striped columns and capitals, a striking reminder of the Pool's pedigree. Cleopatra Pool has warm, clear, sparkling water gushing from its source.
The Ancient City of Hierapolis
The nearby ancient Hierapolis and its accompanying museums may be overshadowed by the springs, but they are also fascinating and worth the visit. Hierapolis City, also known as 'Holy City.' Just outside the main entrance is the Necropolis (Graveyard), containing more than 1200 tombs and sarcophagi of people who wished to have been buried here. Among the tombs lies the Martyrium, an octagonal 5th-century edifice believed to have been erected upon the site where St. Philip was martyred in 80 C.E. Grand Theater that dominates the vista of Hierapolis. It features a vast network of decorative elements from the 3rd century C.E. The next stop is Aphrodisias. It will take one and half an hour to drive.
Aphrodisias Ruin
Aphrodisias was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of Love who had her unique cult image, the Aphrodite of Aphrodisias. The excavations have been going on since 1961, after Aphrodisias, which gained fame all over the Mediterranean world in Antiquity with its high-quality marble quarries and talented sculptors. Buildings such as the city pool, Tetrapylon Gate, Sebasteion Temple, ancient theater, and bath, reflecting the magnificence of Rome, especially the stadium with a capacity of 30 thousand, which is shown among the best of its period, are the areas that attract the most attention. About 200 of the 1100 statues unearthed from the region are on display in the ancient city.
Archaeological Museum
The museum, where sculptures from the excavations in the Aphrodisias Ancient City belonging to the Roman Empire period, which is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List, are exhibited, takes its visitors on a journey in history and takes them 2,500 years ago. In the evening, we will drive back to Denizli Cardak Airport.
