Ancient Walls at Pamukkale
I was finishing up my visit to Pamukkale as I went past the area where most of the visitors end up. I don’t know if it is because this is where footwear is allowed again but I didn’t think the view isn’t that great at least from that point. Just walk a little past it to the left and you can have the place all to yourself. Plus, you can a great view of the sadly empty travertine terraces. While I was walking around the top of Pamukkale, I have been carefully avoiding some rather obvious structures. I was hoping that I would do Pamukkale first then that one after.
Closer Look at the Walls at Pamukkale
A ticket to the grounds of Pamukkale includes entry to another much larger site just beside it. When I was looking at the location from Google Maps, I thought it would be much further away and I was already trying to figure out how to get there. Turns out that it was just right next to it. Hierapolis is ancient Greek city that was built right next to Pamukkale. I would think that it is because of the presence of the hot springs at Pamukkale that made the ancient Greeks decided to built a city here. As I was walking back, I noticed some ruined walls which are obviously very old. I knew that there is an ancient city here, but I didn’t know how close they were to each other.
