You can see the wonder of the travertines long before you arrive at the base of the mountain on Marmaris Pamukkale Tour. Pamukkale translates into English as Cotton Castle, an apt description of the vista that awaits you. Formed by calcified waters over millennia the rocks have hardened to form rock pools, where you may walk or bathe in the healing waters. You have to walk barefoot over the rocks in order to avoid damage or discoloration of this world heritage site. It is easier to do than you think with the texture of the rocks neither cold nor hard. The texture is more chalky and easy to negotiate barefoot. The views from the climb are magnificent, offering you a view of the safety and altitude of the city Hierapolis which nestles hidden at the apex of this beautiful mountain.
Hierapolis which means Holy City houses the spa where Cleopatra once bathed among its healing waters. The Apostle Philip once spread the word of Christianity here, before he fell from grace and was crucified by the Romans and subsequently buried at a church in the city. When you arrive at the top of the white terraces the ruins of ancient Hierapolis spread out before you. There is a touristic centre where you can purchase snacks or beverages, use the toilet facilities or simply sit among the many exotic plants that grow in this surprising mountain top city. You may bathe in Cleopatra’s pool (payable locally), a heated spa pool where the ancient columns have tumbled into the waters, lending it a great sense of history, as you swim where Cleopatra once swam.
