The World Natural Heritage Pamukkale is also a must-see in Turkey, and it is also a very anticipated attraction. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The process of walking down from the mountain is more tiring, and the soles of the feet will be rubbed very painfully by the gravel, because you have to experience it barefoot, the overall is very slippery, and there are many people, you must be careful, and finally you can take a small piece of light blue. ps: If you want to go down, it is recommended to wear slippers or sandals, and it will be more convenient to be with your companions, lower your expectations, and you can bring some water, because it is easy to dehydrate at noon when it is hot and sunny. However, Pamukkale has hot air balloons in the morning. Although the hot air balloons are not as good as the karst landforms of Cappadocia, there are also paragliders. It is not as good as Fethiye to see the sea, but it is also special to see a piece of cotton white dotted with a touch of light blue from the air. In addition, instead of squeezing people on top of Pamukkale, it is better to walk along the plank road to the front square. Here you can take a panoramic view of Pamukkale and the city below, and you can also capture paragliders. I also experienced paragliding for the first time this morning, the fee is 130 US dollars, and the photos and videos are 40 US dollars. I was worried about starting and landing at the beginning. It was a jump from a high mountain of 800 meters, but it was okay with the coach. There will be a little impact on the feet when descending. When starting, try to run down the slope of the high mountain as much as possible. You can take off in a few steps. Except for the morning, it feels a bit cold, the temperature is only about 10 degrees, but the overall experience is like a playground. The ladder is stable and not bad. It will fly over the Roman amphitheater and Pamukkale. The coach will teach you movements and help you shoot. What you have to do is to enjoy your fly as much as possible. ps: Paragliding is recommended to wear thicker windbreakers in the morning, you need to wear sunglasses, otherwise the sun will be very dazzling, you need to run as much as possible when taking off, and you need to stand up when descending. Listen to the coach's command. Mobile phones and other easily dropped items can be put in the coach's pocket, and they will be returned at the end. It is a project that both adults and children can experience, and it is worth a try. In addition, there is a museum in Pamukkale, where you can visit ancient Roman statues and jar ceramics, as well as the swimming pool of ancient Egyptian queen, a very ancient green pool, but it is still in use.

Pamukkale is located in the Denizli province in southwestern Turkey, about 400 kilometers southwest of the capital Ankara. It is also the site of the ancient city of Hierapolis, which was built in 190 BC. Pamukkale has unique scenery. Hot spring water flows down from the top of the cave, washing the hillside into terraced milky white steps. The spring water accumulates into small ponds on the platforms. Looking down from above, the hot spring platforms resemble mirrors reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Looking up from below, it resembles a recently erupted volcano, with white lava covering the entire hillside, which is quite spectacular. Stay at the Apollo Garden Hotel here. The hotel environment and breakfast are good, and the swimming pool and courtyard are excellent. It is only seven or eight hundred meters away from Pamukkale, making it convenient and quick.
