The Aegean Region and its surroundings form one of the oldest and most established cultural basins in human history, located within the triangle of the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. Wherever you go in these regions, history, culture, and mythology emerge with their full accumulation. The Aegean Region, in particular, stands out in this vast geography. And one of the first places that comes to mind when it comes to health and natural beauty, along with this cultural and mythological heritage, is Pamukkale!
Pamukkale, with its unique natural beauties, is located within the borders of Denizli province. Especially in terms of Travertines, Cultural Tourism, and Health Tourism, it is one of the leading places not only in our country but also in the world.
The Pamukkale Travertines, located within the borders of Denizli province, are almost a natural wonder. Approximately 17 different springs spread around at temperatures ranging from 17 to 100 degrees Celsius, emanating from their source. The event known as the transition from a gel-like state to a rock-like state, due to different chemical reactions, turns into a visual spectacle for us. This phenomenon can also be described as geological activities. As a result of all these, the Pamukkale Travertines turn into healing waters for us humans. The cotton-like white powders and sediments sliding under your feet there will seem very intriguing to you.
With its natural and healing properties, Pamukkale Travertines have long been on the UNESCO World Heritage List, but they may also face the risk of losing their natural characteristics due to some wrong choices, for which some measures have been taken by the authorities.
The visiting hours vary depending on the summer and winter schedules, so be sure to keep this information in mind before visiting. You can go to the travertines with your private vehicle up to a certain limit, and then transportation is provided by shuttles. We recommend visiting the travertines in summer and close to summer months.
