Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour

It took us 3 hour to reach Pamukkale from Kusadasi. Pamukkale means Cotton Castle.
Pamukkale is a world heritage site which has deposits of calcium carbonate from the hot springs alongside the mountain and is white in color.

There is very little water in the banks. As we understood, the water is diverted to ensure moss does not form which would turn the whole area green.
We went to Heirapolis (Heira - Holy , Pholis - City) from Pamukkale.

Here we saw the magnificent Amphitheatre which can seat around 10000 people. There was also the site of St Philip's (one of the apostles) church/grave which was discovered just 10 yrs ago.Read more
