Hiking

Pamukkale (Turkish for cotton castle/cotton castle) is a natural site in the Denizli province of south-west Turkey. Pamukkale got its name from the calcareous sinter terraces that have been formed by calcareous thermal springs over thousands of years and are a tourist attraction. The terraces are on the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the archeological site of the ancient Greek city of Hierapolis above them.

Hiking

One of the must-see places in Turkey. A good 30 years ago there were still a few hotels here and the rush of tourists was very high. Then bathing in the limestone pools was forbidden. hotels dismantled. In the meantime, more is being done for the environment and only guided tours are allowed.
