After a lovely drive through the Tauros Mountains  passing traditional authentic Turkish villages and having breakfast on the way, we arrive at Hierapolis and Pamukkale (cotton castle) which hits you immediately.

Hierapolis is an ancient Roman city and was established as a cure centre in the 2nd century BC. After being destroyed by many earthquakes, we can only see what remains such as the city baths and an amphitheatre, which has a 15.000 seating capacity. Pamukkale is a famous natural phenomenon and lies on a small hill from where a great number of hot calcium rich volcanic springs flow. For thousands of years, water has flowed from Pamukkale springs and naturally formed snow white terraces and pools cascading down the mountainside. The waters are bath temperature and believed to benefit heart and circulatory complains in particular. After lunch we visit a carpet weaving centre and you can see how Turkish carpets are made.
