Truly one of the main natural wonders of Pamukkale is the Cleopatra pool. It is famous for the healing properties of its waters, which are saturated with minerals.
Their high concentration has a beneficial effect on people suffering from diseases of the musculoskeletal system, overweight and skin diseases.
In addition, the water of the Cleopatra pool in Pamukkale has a rejuvenating effect! So, if you want to lose ten years, you are welcome. By the way, the water temperature in this pool can reach 36 degrees.
High mineralization makes the water slightly carbonated, which creates a very pleasant bathing experience. But there are also restrictions: you can’t swim in the pool for more than 2 hours – you can harm your health.
Since ancient times, the city of Hierapolis has been known for its healing springs. Many people came here who, having learned the healing properties of calcium water, hoped to improve their health.
During the heyday of the Roman Empire, the population of Hierapolis exceeded 100 thousand people, which allowed this city to be considered one of the largest in Asia Minor.
Unfortunately, today only ruins remain of this great city. However, almost all Pamukkale tours from Kemer include a visit to this ancient monument, because in 1988 it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List!
It is unlikely that, in view of the above, anyone will be surprised by the fact that the ruins of Hierapolis have become a real Mecca for all those who are fond of history and archeology.
It was their efforts, with the assistance of the Turkish government, that a unique museum was created here, the funds of which are regularly replenished with various artifacts found during excavations on the site of the ancient city:
By the way, the museum itself is located in the building of the former Roman bath. And if you care about history, you simply must visit here!
No less remarkable is the theater in Pamukkale, which is considered the third largest ancient monument of this type in Turkey.
During its heyday, this theater, which is almost 2000 years old, gathered an audience of fifteen thousand, which by the standards of that era was simply a colossal figure!
Much less exalted from a spiritual point of view, but equally valuable for historians and admirers of antiquity, is the ancient City of the Dead (Necropolis in Hierapolis).
This majestic place at one time served as a burial place for wealthy people, and it is notable for the fact that it is considered the largest necropolis in Asia Minor.
Slightly younger than the monuments listed above, but no less interesting in terms of its historical significance, is an ancient church built in the 5th century in Hierapolis.
It was consecrated in honor of one of the twelve apostles – St. Philip, who in the first century was martyred at the hands of local pagans.
You may be one of those lucky ones! An excursion to Pamukkale from Kemer is a great chance to get in touch with, perhaps, the main natural attraction of Turkey, which has been legendary since ancient times. However, it will also be very beneficial for your health!
