#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Antique Pool is located in the ruins of Hierapolis in Denizli Province, Turkey. In the pool, you can see many Greek-style broken beams and columns. These beams and columns collapsed in an earthquake in the seventh century and sank about 3 meters, forming a naturally gushing hot spring building. The hot spring pool is surrounded by towering trees and lush flowers and plants, which is really beautiful. The hot spring pool is emerald green in color, which is visually shocking. The Hierapolis ruins are quite large, and it is best to arrange a day to travel here so that you can see every corner of the area clearly without any regrets.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The ancient city of Hierapolis is a historical site located above Pamukkale. It was built by King Pergamon in the second century BC and named after Hiera, the wife of Telephus in Greek mythology. It has a mix of Greek and Roman architectural features, including temples, theaters, aqueducts, baths, and arches, which are quite magnificent and ancient. The ancient city and Pamukkale belong to the same scenic area. The south gate entrance is the Pamukkale area, and the ancient city ruins are concentrated at the north gate entrance. As soon as you enter, you can see the entire ancient tomb group, as well as public baths and church ruins. Because it is a ruin, all you can see are broken walls, a bit like visiting the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy. The most interesting part of the entire ruins is the fan-shaped theater. The auditorium is built using the terrain of the hillside. There are several beautiful relief columns on the stage. It is hard to imagine that there was a performance venue of this scale before the Common Era. It is not inferior to the current concert stage at all. As usual, there is a museum next to the ancient city, which specializes in collecting unearthed ancient artifacts. Half a day is not enough to visit the ancient city, museum and Pamukkale, so we can only take a quick look, which is a pity. #TurkeyTravel #Pamukkale #Hierapolis

Turkey's most famous dream destination, Pamukkale, features travertine terraces as white as cotton and pools of azure blue thermal water. With hot air balloons in the background, it's a popular spot for many social media influencers. However, capturing such beautiful photos requires the perfect timing and conditions. Pamukkale's unique limestone terrain is due to its calcium-rich underground water, which flows down from the mountain top. The calcium deposits along the flow path create numerous semi-circular terraced pools. Because of its distinctive white stone appearance, it is also known as the Cotton Castle. The entrance fee to Pamukkale is not cheap, costing €30. There are three entrances: the North Gate, the South Gate, and the town entrance. If you visit in winter, be sure to wear thick wool socks as it can snow in Pamukkale, and walking barefoot on the travertine terraces can be freezing! In reality, Pamukkale is not as pristine white as the photos online suggest. It can appear a bit gray and dirty, similar to the Qigu Salt Mountain in Tainan. The ground is wet and slippery, so to capture that dreamy photo, it's best to visit on a sunny summer day when you have a better chance of photographing the snow-white Cotton Castle under a blue sky.

This post, I want to share my full 6-day Turkey travel experience. Since I've been on a road trip for almost the entire trip, I was very excited. 🩷Day 1 We landed in Istanbul in the morning and took a flight in the afternoon to Adiyaman Airport to travel to Kahta, a city in a high valley. After driving for 1 hour from the airport, we arrived at Karakus Tumulusu at around 5:00 PM. The sun was setting and the sky was pink and blue. 🤎Day 2This day was the highlight of this trip because we intended to take a plane to Adiyaman to climb Mount Nemrut (2,134 m high). The time on the map was 1.5 hours, but since the road was very steep and it was a mountain road from the beginning, it took almost 2 hours. The most exciting thing was the last 4 kilometers, which was a winding and steep road. Most importantly, the road was covered in snow, causing the wheels to spin several times. I almost gave up and went back down, but in the end, I made it through that point and reached the top. It was a very worthwhile journey...on the way up the mountain. A large rock fell from the mountain, blocking the road. We had to get out of the car to move the rock to make way. It was very dangerous. Then, while we were moving the rock, another large rock suddenly rolled down from the mountain and hit the middle of the car hard. It was dented...🚗After visiting Nemrut, we drove for 7 hours to the next city, "Goreme". But the thrill was that we had to drive at night and the road was a high mountain covered in snow. If anyone is afraid of big things, they will be scared. 🧡Day 3, of course, Cappadocia is a city with a well-known balloon festival. We planned to wake up early in the morning to see the balloons. But it started to rain. Everything was canceled. Even the activities in Rose Valley were closed. So we went to see the view at Love Valley instead. But the view was just as beautiful. And I think it might be lucky that the plan changed and made it here.🚗After enjoying nature, we drove to Alanya, the next station. It took another 7 hours as usual. But because it was raining, while driving up the high mountain, the rain suddenly turned into snow. Even more dangerous 💙Day 4 of the first 3 days, there was no day that the temperature was higher than 5 degrees. But in Antalya or Alanya, it is a city on the Mediterranean Sea. The temperature was 18 degrees, so hot that it was almost too hot to adjust. We went up to see the view at Alanya Castle. The panoramic view was too much to capture in a single picture. Then we drove along the Mediterranean Sea. There are many more tourist spots along the coast. Another important spot is Aspendos, an ancient city with a large theater. Unfortunately, we arrived close to closing time, so we could only visit the theater. 🚗And the road trip is almost over with the last 5 hours to drive into Denizli (Pamukkale). 🩵Day 5 Pamukkale is another city that tourists visiting Turkey cannot miss. It is a famous tourist attraction. The large white limestone mountain attracts many tourists. Today, we woke up early to finish sightseeing before returning the rental car. We were lucky to experience the atmosphere when there were not many people (at 10 am, it was already packed with tourists). 🚌After returning the rental car (we had agreed to pick up and return the car in different cities, which caused another problem when returning the car) But I survived because of the staff's dizziness) The drive ended. I changed to a tour bus to return to Istanbul, the capital. But for those who want to travel this way, you have to prepare yourself for the smell and cleanliness. 💜 Day 6 Istanbul, the capital of Turkey. I won't tell much because I'm tired. I can't travel anymore. 55555 But I want to leave you with a good impression of Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, which are huge and magnificent. And still preserve some history for future generations to see (Note: Female tourists who visit the mosque must wear a Muslim headscarf.) ✈️ The trip ended and we returned from IST Airport without any new content. Finally, I would like to thank myself and my boyfriend for having the presence of mind to solve the problems that occurred on the trip well. (At least we survived.) For those who want to travel with the same plan, I must say that you shouldn't do it. You should have time to rest. At least stay in each city for 2 nights. We think that's just right. 💰 Average price per person: We went with my boyfriend, 2 people, including food, travel, car rental, and hotel, 40,000 baht is enough. Note: The most cooperative creature in this country is the cat. Cat slaves should go to Turkey. I love this trip. Nature, tourist attractions, roads, weather. I've encountered almost every possible situation. It's really complete. 🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️#TurkeyTrip #TurkeyReview #TurkeyTravel #TurkeyTravelByYourself

7/9-day tour in Türkiye, 12-day tour in Türkiye + Greece, don’t travel cheaply or extravagantly, make a plan in advance, Türkiye is not as expensive as you think! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Denizli is the capital of Denizli Province in southwestern Türkiye, located in an agricultural area at the foot of Mount Gokbel. Denizli is an important industrial city with wool, cotton, and linen textile mills, and textiles are especially cheap here. Denizli is famous for its domestic roosters, and the city is full of rooster statues and signs, attracting many tourists to take photos. 💰Tickets: EUR 30: Hierapolis + Pamukkale; EUR 40: plus Laodicea. 🚗Transportation: Drive to the scenic area, about 20 km from the city bus station, about 30 minutes, stop at the south gate. 🚶🏻‍♂️Tour: ⭐️Pamukkale: 1️⃣ To protect the environment, you need to walk barefoot. Some people say you can wear socks, but I didn't see anyone doing that; 2️⃣ Some parts of the ground are uneven, and some places with water flow are particularly slippery. I saw several people slip, so I suggest you walk slowly, enjoy the scenery, and take photos; 3️⃣ No retouching or filters, it's time to test your photography skills; 4️⃣ I suggest you bring wet wipes to wipe your feet before putting on your shoes. ⭐️Hierapolis: 1️⃣ After entering, the first thing you see is the ruins of Hierapolis, which cover a large area, with churches, theaters, and town remains. There is also a museum with artifacts excavated from nearby; 2️⃣ The ruins are not on flat ground, there are small hills, so I suggest you wear comfortable shoes. These two attractions take about 5 hours to visit. There are benches under the trees where you can rest, enjoy the view of the city and the mountains in the distance, and feel the cool breeze.

#2024Travel Review One of the must-do activities for many people in Turkey is to take a hot air balloon ride to watch the sunrise. Generally speaking, the first choice for flying balloons is Cappadocia, which has a unique terrain. However, we were unable to see it this time due to bad weather. Fortunately, we were lucky. Saw it in Pamukkale 👍 I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning and went to the base to watch the staff start inflating the air. I slowly took off before the sun rose. I was really excited when I saw the sunrise. I checked in another wish list❤️. Look down and you can see the little The small ancient city and hot springs are so cute. The whole flight takes about an hour, and you will be given a flight certificate at the end (the one without your name) Tourists who must check in for hot air ballooning are advised to travel clockwise. If you miss the sunrise in Cappadocia, you may make up for it in Pamukkale. Of course, it is best to book the first batch of hot air balloons to watch the sunrise in advance. It is too It’s worth it! #Special experience #100 ways to travel #Hot air balloon #Hot air balloon carnival #Sunrise view #Sunrise and sunset view #Turkey must go #Wish list

It has an intricate stage and intricate carvings. #VisitAncientSite #100WaysToVisit

#hotspring Pamukkale is known as the most beautiful hot spring in the world and is currently listed as a World Heritage Site along with the ancient city of Hierapolis. It is formed due to the cooling and calcification of hot springs and the accumulation of special hilly terrain, forming a snow-white terraced landscape. Such a rare scenery is only found in Yellowstone Park in the United States, Huanglong Scenic Area in Sichuan, and Pamukkale in China. It is super beautiful❤️ The abundant hot springs here attract a large number of tourists all year round. Even under the strong sun in the afternoon, the fun of soaking your feet and splashing in the water is still there. Just sitting like this is super relaxing, great! #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #Resort Hot Spring Resort #Wonder of Nature #Turkey Must Go #World Heritage

|National Geographic didn’t lie to me! This place is speechless with beauty. . As expected of romantic Türkiye, these places are unimaginably beautiful! You can get an e-visa in 10 minutes and leave right away! 1. Cappadocia The first choice for hot air ballooning 🎈, due to the lava formed by the eruption of volcanoes 🌋, the magnificent karst landforms were formed after natural wind erosion. When you fly high in the sky on a hot air balloon from Goreme at sunrise, you will have a panoramic view of the valleys, the folds of the mountains, the winding rivers, the scattered towns and everything beautiful. Giant balloons of various colors are flying all over the sky, as wonderful as a fairy tale world. 2. Istanbul A magical city, it not only has fairyland-like scenery, long-standing culture, majestic temples and churches, gorgeous palaces, retro and colorful streets, but also cute cats everywhere. No one can resist a furry cat🐱! Without cats, Istanbul would be missing a part of its soul. 3. Pamukkale ☁️Pamukkale is located in the north of Denizli, Turkey. It is a well-known hot spring resort. It not only has natural hot springs that are thousands of years old, but also has a calcified wonder: layers of semicircular white steps, which look like large cotton flowers standing on the hills from a distance. 4. Fethiye One of the top three paragliding destinations in the world, you can fly high in the sky on a paraglider and overlook the whole Fethiye. When you look down, you will see the spectacular Butterfly Valley. The blue sky makes you happy physically and mentally. 5. Antalya Located on the Mediterranean coast in southeastern Türkiye, it has beautiful coastal scenery and a long history and culture.

In the end, we chose Türkiye for our honeymoon, after all, it is a romantic 💕 country! Although people on the Internet said that hot air balloons and car rentals were a rip-off, we were lucky enough to sign up for a local tour that included 4 nights in a 4-star hotel and 2 nights in a cave hotel, as well as a car for the trip. The hot air balloon was also very comfortable and not a rip-off at all! 👍 🚗Itinerary: D1 Istanbul – Bursa D2 Bursa - Izmir D3 Izmir - Ephesus - Pamukkale D4 Pamukkale - Sultanhana - Cappadocia D5 Cappadocia D6 Cappadocia – Ankara D7 Ankara – Istanbul Wonderful gameplay ✔️Check in at Hagia Sophia Mosque and Blue Mosque ✔️Buy Turkish souvenirs at the Spice Market ✔️Experience hot air balloon in Cappadocia ✔️Visit the historical sites of the ancient city of Ephesus and the ruins of the ancient city of HIERAPOLIS ✔️Pamukkale view of spectacular rock formations and pools ✔️Admire the Goreme Open Air Museum ✔️Take photos of your life in Pigeon Valley ✔️Take a look at the jaw-dropping fairy chimneys Travel Notes ▪️The local currency is Lira.

#hotsprings #100waysoftravel #turkey #turkiye #pamukkale We visited Pamukkale in June, eager to experience its famous hot springs and natural terraces. The mineral-rich waters, which flow down the white travertine formations, were beautiful, creating a unique landscape. However, we were a bit disappointed by the shallow water levels in the hot spring pools, making it less relaxing than expected. The area was also quite crowded, which took away from the serene atmosphere we had hoped for. Despite this, Pamukkale offered stunning views, especially of the shimmering terraces against the blue sky, making the visit worthwhile for the incredible scenery alone.

#hotsprings Pamukkale in Turkey was like stepping into a dream! The white terraces, filled with warm, mineral-rich waters, are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Entry to the site is around 400 TL (roughly €15), and it’s worth every penny. Walking barefoot along the natural pools, with the sun reflecting off the bright white formations, was magical. Make sure to bring your swimsuit so you can soak in the warm water while enjoying the incredible views. At the top of the terraces, you can also explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, including a well-preserved theater. The combination of nature and history made this a truly unforgettable experience. Pamukkale is an absolute must-visit if you're in Turkey—don’t miss it! 🌿💧🏛️ #Pamukkale #NaturalWonders #TurkeyTravel #HierapolisRuins #ThermalPools #UniqueExperiences
