It neighbors Hierapolis, an ancient Roman spa city founded around 190 B.C. Ruins there include a well-preserved theater and a necropolis with sarcophagi that stretch for 2km. The Antique Pool is famous for its submerged Roman columns, the result of an earthquake."Pamukkale>100km from IzmirHighlights: Pamukkale is located 19 kilometers north of Denizli, Turkey. In Turkish, Pamuk means cotton and Kale means castle, so Pamukkale is called Pamukkale. This is a well-known hot spring resort. There are not only natural hot springs for thousands of years, but also these strange cotton-like hills, which are actually hard limestone. In 1988 Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis on top of it were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The unique stepped "cotton" hill Pamukkale has a very unique landscape. The hot spring flows down from the top of the cave, scouring the hillside into a stepped shape, and the spring water at the platform accumulates into small ponds. Looking down from the top, the square hot spring platform is like a A mirror reflects the blue sky and white clouds. Looking up from the bottom, it looks like a volcano that has just erupted, with white lava covering the entire hillside, which is quite spectacular. The unique scenery has attracted many photographers from all over the world. The hot spring resort where Cleopatra has soaked is the white Pamukkale with mountains and water. It has been a spa resort since the Greek era. It is said that Cleopatra once also soaked in hot springs here. The water temperature here remains between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius all year round, and the pH of the water is about 6. According to scientific identification, spring water is rich in minerals such as calcium and magnesium, and can also be drunk directly. There is an endless stream of tourists who come to the hot springs, especially some European and American tourists who often come to the hot springs with their families. Tourists usually enter from the north gate of the scenic spot, and can see relics such as the Chengbei Cemetery (more than 1,000 tombs), the Beida Bathroom (the core building of the ancient city) and the Domitian Arch.

You can first visit the ancient city of Hierapolis, the ancient city south down the hillside is Pamukkale. In the evening, you can enjoy the sunset view of Pamukkale. The more beautiful area of Pamukkale is on the way up from the entrance. Generally, there will be more and more people in the morning, and then gradually decrease in the evening, so if you arrive in the afternoon, you can go later and enjoy the sunset. The white rock face is tinted by the sunlight, while the water waves in the rock face record the strange colors of the sky.Show Less

based on 7539 reviews"The Dead Sea in Turkey is definitely the most magical sea in the world, and it is also the highest salinity in the world, and even if you can't swim here, you won't sink. And the sea here is very clear blue, the underwater reef is clearly visible, is definitely a good place to swim in the sea diving."Oludeniz Mahallesi>100km from IzmirHighlights: Turkey's Dead Sea is located in Oludeniz, south of Fethiye. Although the place name is chilling, it has a soft sandy beach that is enough to enjoy the style of the Mediterranean coast. Changing rooms, shower rooms, and open-air bars are also available. Typical of Turkish European beaches. A big turn of the Mediterranean Sea on Turkey's long and tortuous southwestern coastline has created the huge Turkish Dead Sea. The entire coast is surrounded by mountains, forming a calm and waveless lagoon. Because the water here is calm and the reflection in the water is almost still, it is named "Dead Sea". This is a natural beach in southwestern Turkey, you can swim, but the beach is pebbled, so it is recommended to wear beach shoes. In addition, paragliding is also a popular sport here. When you fly into the air, you will experience peace and tranquility. The feeling of integration with the blue sky, blue sea, green mountains and white sand is very wonderful.Show Less - 6.84.9/5118 ReviewFrom263.55"It is such an opportunity to scream and release stressful vibes.
