Day 3 - Hierapolis – Pamukkale – Istanbul
Drive to Pamukkale, discovery of Travertine terraces and Hierapolis. The travertine terraces at Pamukkale are one of the most spectacular natural wonders we ever have seen from various mineral springs in a vast white cliff side, about 200 m overlooking the plain, calcite-laden waters have dripped down over a series of terraced levels and created a fairyland of bizarre solidified cascades and shell-shaped basins. It looks like creations from snow or like balls from cotton, which gave the scenery the Turkish name Pamukkale (cotton castle): “pamuk” for cotton and “kale” for castle. Moreover the water in the basins is changing its color according to how the light enters.
Transfer to Denizli Airport to take the Turkish Airlines flight at 20:05pm to Istanbul Atatürk Airport, arrival at 21:15pm.
