Pamukkale tour from Belek is a day trip to see Hierapolis ancient city, travertines of Pamukkale and the Cleopatra's Pool.
This place is perhaps one of the most photographed sites in all of Turkey. You are sure to have wondered about the snow like cascades that form pools of thermal waters as they fall into the lake below. Pamukkale translates as Cotton Castle and there is no need to wonder why as you set your eyes upon the snowy white travertines.
The site was once home to an ancient spa that is said to have been frequented by Cleopatra herself as well as attracting the rich and famous of the time seeking to relax and enjoy the healing waters there within. It is also the site of the ancient city of Hierapolis which dates back to at least the 2nd century BC. As the area was visited by the sick in search of healing it is perhaps (or not) surprising to find a vast necropolis full of well preserved sarcophagi inclusive of many different styles that were used over the thousands of years that the spa resort was in full swing.
These days the ruins still host the delightful pool of Cleopatra which rich in minerals is still said to hold some healing properties. Even today you can pay a small extra fee to enjoy the thermal waters and swim amongst the fallen columns of the city that line the bottom of the pool.
At Hierapolis one of the most intriguing remains is that of a temple built over a fissure that is said to have been the gateway to Hell itself. This is perhaps due to the toxic gases that still escape from deep within the Earth’s core. You will only be able to approach this opening up to a few metres as it is cordoned off for health reasons.
This is a day out suitable for those who wish to explore some of the country’s history and geological wonders. Whilst it is a long day out you are sure to agree that it is worth every minute!
