The Ancient City of Hierapolis

Hierapolis was founded as a thermal spa in the second century BC, taking advantage of Pamukkale’s hot springs. Here you see some ancient buildings, a Roman theatre and a sacred pool.

The Travertines of Pamukkale

That’s not snow, these are calcium travertines.

Strollin’ Through Karahayit

Took a four hour bus to the Pamukkale region and stayed in Karahayit for the night. Lots of hotels in this region. Strolled around town before visiting Pamukkale/Hieropolis.
