These world-famous Turkey hot springs are a short distance from Denizli in southwestern Türkiye. Denizli is just 15 minutes from Pamukkale, and there is a regular local bus to Pamukkale. Or you can take a taxi.
In the southwestern Turkish province of Denizli, Pamukkale is the archaeological site of the ancient Greek city of Hierapolis. This whole part of Türkiye is packed with ruins from Greek times that are worth visiting.
This travertine is why the terraces of Pamukkale have that blinding white appearance. The water that hasn’t yet solidified gives off the brightest blue shade as it cascades over the top of the travertine.
Pamukkale is astonishing. There’s no other word for it, and it’s in such stark comparison to the rest of the landscape around the area, which is as green as green can be.
Explore The Ruins Of Hierapolis: When you visit Pamukkale, don’t forget to learn more about Hierapolis. This spa city was founded in 190 BC, and the ruins are notably well-preserved. Visiting the Necropolis, the amphitheater, and the Byzantine church are all a must.
You can visit a nearby archaeology museum in a Roman bathhouse to learn more about the area. Visitors can better picture life here in ancient times with sculptures, relics, and art from the area.
