Thermal pools

After stopping at a leather shop we had a big drive out to Pamukkale which is the home of extremely impressive calcium terraces, some which have water in them where you can bathe. The stark white of the terraces was so impressive against the blue sky. I would’ve loved to have “paddled” but unfortunately there wasn’t a whole lot of water, which is apparently common for this time of year, and there were stacks of people. But just walking around them was so intriguing and beautiful.
We then went to the ancient thermal pools which were lovely AND there was a bunch of ancient fallen columns scattered around within them as a result of an earthquake. The water was 35°c and Jim had a swim - I opted out but according to those who did swim, it was delightful, sitting on submerged marble columns and taking it all in.
This entire bathing complex has been here for around 2000 years! Imagine the people in their toga’s roaming around and bathing……🤔
Lunch was magnificent! I’m not sure are what mine was called but I loved it!!Read more
