Pamukkale 2-day tour from Alanya is a cultural tour with 1-night accommodation in Pamukkale. Pamukkale is a district of Denizli Province and is about 350 km away from Alanya. Pamukkale & Hierapolis which means 'cotton castle' in Turkish are considered one of the oldest thermal cities in the world. The thermal waters of this region, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, have always attracted the attention of visitors for both their beauty and health purposes for centuries. The spring waters in the area are around 30 degrees Celsius and cure some diseases.
In Pamukkale, you will see Turkey's world-famous tourism brand and the natural beauty, the White Travertines. Pamukkale travertines are a type of limestone deposited at the mouth of the spring. Thermal sources on an important fault line of western Anatolia in Pamukkale are warmed up by subterranean heat and come out at 33-36 C. The water contains calcium hydro carbonate. Tectonic movements triggered frequent earthquakes in this area and gave rise to the emergence of a number of very hot springs. The water from these springs created Pamukkale with its large mineral content. When the hot water is in touch with carbon dioxide, it starts to lose its warmth and also carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are released into the air. As a result, the calcium carbonate is precipitated. So the water forms magnificent viewed travertine.
You'll also see a number of other famous sites and thermal pools around the Pamukkale area, including well-preserved ruins of the Greek-Roman city of Hierapolis, Necropolis, Cleopatra Pool. You will have free time to relax and enjoy the surroundings, spending the night in a hotel close to Pamukkale travertines. You will also visit a hand-woven carpet and rug production center and learn about traditional Turkish hand-weaving art.
