Pamukkale, part II

So, continuing through Pamukkale. After you are done with the cosmetic procedures, applying masks and taking photos, you can continue further to the more dry surface where you can put on your shoes, finally, and make sure you will not slip.
The most interesting place to visit, besides the white hot springs, is Cleopatra's pool, that is called so because it is believed that Cleopatra used to swim here. Of course during her days there were no columns on the bottom of the pool, which were supposedly left here from the Temple of Apollo. 
We didn't manage to swim in the pool, because there were too many people, but we enjoyed the territory of the pool, which consists of beautiful pool itself, modern cafes and green sights surrounding the place - leaving you with the feeling as if you are in the exotic place.  
Moving further you can find the ruins of the ancient Hierapolis. There are a lot of interesting places to see, while crossing the old city to the exit at the end. Very smart decision, I would say, to place the exit at the end of the territory so that tourists will cross the whole complex. 
That is basically it for Pamukkale and Hierapolis city =) I would never stop advising to take care of your skin during your stay in Pamukkale, because I had an unpleasant experience of getting sunburn there, due to which I couldn't fully enjoy the Black Sea and spent most of our stay in Kemer in the pool. So, don't make the same mistakes! =) 

Sincerely, 
Makhina

  1. This place looks especially amazing and now I feel seriously bad for travelling so little while being in the AUBG.
