Pamukkale Day Tours

Pamukkale Day Tours are running in this natural wonder, famous for its white terraces, is 14 km from the city of Denizli and just to the north of Pamukkale village.
Having been included in the list of ” World’s Cultural Heritages” by UNESCO, Pamukkale has become a tourist center popular with local visitors as well as foreign visitors.
Terraces have been formed on the side of a hill some 400 m above sea-level. The Limestonebearing water originates from a natural spring with a temperature of 35 °C. When the lime settles, the sight resembles heaps of cotton. It is due to this resemblance that this region is called Pamukkale which means “Cotton Castle”.
The Pamukkale terraces are spread over a 4 km wide area. With its pools of water, and travertines, these terraces offer visitors unending pleasure at sunset with the tricks of light played.

Visitors are permitted to walk upon the terraces and this is one of the saddening reasons that it is difficult for formations to take place during the tourism season. The appearence of the terraces is being effected as well, because their apperance has become darkened and yellowish. Fortunately, between tourism seasons, the terraces are renewed and once again regain their unmatched beauty.
