What an Unusual, Beautiful, Place

Pamukkale
This is a top pick! We took a three hour bus ride up to the Calcium cliffs known as Pamukkale. We had a pleasant trip on the bus with no problems and arrived there around noon, which gave us about 4 hours to explore the travertines and bathe in the pools. It was a ...
Pamukkale
This is a top pick! Pamukkale is nowadays a shamelessly resorty town built next to one of the great natural wonders of the world. A river with waters very rich in calcium flowed over a gently sloped falaise several kilometers in length. The result is a blindingly white cliff ...

It's Called Pallukamee! (jk)
Pamukkale (pronounced pa-mu-ka-ley) is a small town in Western Turkey where we went to see ancient ruins, an ancient hot spring, and a mammoth formation of travertine deposits. We were booked into the Melrose Hotel, which is a beautiful and comfortable ...
Travatines
... to look around later when it is cooler, and hopefully less people. Dave has just been abducted by a Turkish man to play backgammon! Pamukkale was both amazing and disappointing. I am not sure if you have seen pictures of this place, the white calcium ...
Pools of Emptiness
Excited for the first official 'site seeing' day in Turkey: a day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis. Able to arrange this trip through our hostel. So far we've only camped one night in Turkey! Pensions are very affordable and come ...

The white Pools of Pamukkale
We were up aging early this morning and after breakfast headed straight for the main attraction in Pamukkale - the calcium pools. Having seen countless photographs of these amazing pools at all the travel agencies along the way - I was expecting a bit ...
Not that Four Seasons
... cologne, free tea etc anywhere. However, the highlight has to be that the bus driver did not actually know the way. Pamukkale is perhaps unique, having amazing calcium travertines that appear almost like the largest baked Alaska you have ever seen and the ...
Cotton Castle in the clouds
We then took an early morning but to Pamukkale, which means Cotton Castle. Here, high amounts of calcium carbonate in the thermal spa waters come to the surface and the calcium separates out of the water and creates these white rocks that pool down in ...
Long drive, lazy day
We had a long, uneventful drive today to Pamukkale. It is showering and we decided to take it easy for the day in our hotel, walk around the little village and get caught up on the blogging. We checked into a less spectacular hotel but comfortable ...
Laodiceia (or Laodikeia) May 23, 2009
Most people come to this region to visit the (formerly) white travertine pools of Pamukkale and the ruins of Heiropolis just above them. I had visited both in 2006. On this trip I was centrally interested in another near-by archaeological site, ...
Pamukkale
The spa town of Pamukkale is firmly on the list of stops for most tourists in Turkey. The area's warm mineral water not only attracts tourists today, but also attracted the Romans leading them to build the city of Hierapolis nearby ...
Hieropolis and the Terraces
Awake at 3 am with the drummer - but the one on Pamukkale had absolutely no rhythm! And instead of setting off car alarms, he just set off all the village dogs! And about 5am, the call to prayer came over the minaret loud speakers - only this iman ...
