So, early in the morning a large comfortable bus took us from the hotel. Conveniently sitting on the seats (thanks to the inflatable pads taken from the house), we went to meet with one of the wonders of Turkey - Pamukkale.
We took an excursion from our operator. It cost at that time, it seems about a hundred dollars. It was possible to buy a street cheaper, but we did not risk.
Go from Alanya far. But gorgeous views from the window will not let you get bored.
Of course, first I had to visit the Textile Store (where without it), but we did not go there, not in vain, bought a towel as a gift :)
And here is the pearl of Turkey. Cotton lock. So you can translate the name of this attraction from Turkish.
Bowls from limestone filled with water. From the whiteness of lime and blue sky, water in the bowl seems azure.
A very beautiful place!
You can walk on some bowls, but not all. In general, the resort has a large number of security by order. You need to go very neatly baths slippery. Water is cool and soft. It is said that even standing in it, you can cure diseases and gain strength.
There is also something around. High slender trees, bushes, blooming bright colors and ruins of the ancient city of Jerapolis.
There is even your Colosseum here! At the time of visiting by us, Jerapolis, he, however, was on reconstruction.
All together creates an indescribable effect. It seems to carry us in ancient times. And now we are no longer just tourists, but medieval wealthy people, stepwise walking on shady alleys after the adoption of therapeutic baths
Inside the complex is the market and cafes. The place is very crowded and noisy. You can buy local souvenirs, scarves, Turkish tea and sweets on the market. Only prices are much higher than in the same Alanya, and this product can be bought everywhere.
Manicure fish, massage. All services are available.
If you move a little away from all this turmoil, you can see a well from which a healing driver is poured. It is said that she can cure a hundred diseases, just drinking it must be carefully due to a pronounced laxative effect.
Here, on the territory of the complex there is a pool of Cleopatra. The entrance to it is paid separately (15 dollars).
Water is very soft, pleasant. Here are just a lot of people. Especially kids who confused the therapeutic pool with a water park and selflessly shuffled into the water bombing :(
Pamukkale is a place that remains forever in our heart. This breathtaking beauty and memory of a perfectly spent day!
