Denizli is a small yet thriving city that serves as the transportation hub of the Aegean region. It’s primary claim to touristic fame is its proximity to Pamukkale; an “out of this world” masterpiece of nature. Travertine terraces made by flowing water and peppered with hot springs, Pamukkale practically glows against an orange sunset. Atop this “Cotton Castle” is the ancient site of Hierapolis, its remains of an ancient theater and necropolis remarkably well preserved. Denizli tour guides also advertise the red deposits of Karahayit for its curative waters. Swim in the pools of the luxury resorts to feel the calcium working on your skin or take a dip at the Sacred Pool, dating back to the roman times. Denizli has limited hotel accommodations; you could consider spreading your accommodation options to Pamukkale or Karahayit.
