Sightseeing Turkey


Pamukkale (Hierapolis)

Hari ke lima yaitu hari rabu (07.06.06) adalah acara jalan jalan.Dengan menyewa mobil dari Avis kami menuju Pamukkale sekitar 20 km dari kota Denizli, dari hotel kira kira kurang lebih 3-4 jam perjalanan (maklum menyetir sembari liat peta jadi gak agak agak takut mau ambil jalan pintas, ntar malah kesasar :-D

Located 20 kilometers from the town of Denizli in the Aegean region of Turkey, Pamukkale is one of the most interesting places in the world, justly famous not only for the entrancing beauty of its unique geological formations but also for its historical remains. The calcium oxide-rich waters flowing down the southern slope of Caldag located north of the ruins have, over the millennia, built up deposits of white travertine on the plateau thus fully justifying both the site's ancient name of Hierapolis (Holy City) and its modern one of Pamukkale (Cotton Castle).
