沒有溫泉的棉花堡－teamaster的部落格

Seems I wasn't writting much nice things about Turkey, well I'd to admit that I'm not impressed with the tourist attractions that much, however there're beauties hidden everywhere. The views're wonderful during our whole trip of driving, we got to enjoy the Aegean sea from distance, it's simply wonderful.

We spent 3 hrs driving directly from Didim to Pamukkale for the white cotton castle, when we're entering the village, some people tried to jump in front of our car to stop us to sell tours or other things, it's real annoying and dangerous. We visited Pamukkale right after lunch (by lunch I mean heaing for like hrs until it's like 4pm because the sun was totally burning, I'm sure it's over 35 degrees that day), sunset was like 9pm so we had plenty of time to explore the ruin and spring.

A lot of people wore swimming suits to get into Pamukkale, we did the same except we covered ourselves a bit LOL. It made me a bit confused if I was in Turkey or not because everyone's so casual and relaxed here.

Before we jumped into the "spring water", we visited Hierapolis the ancient greek ruin. It's relatively small but added colors to the white castle.

If you expect to see a true white cotton castle, you might be disappointed because more than half of Pamukkale's already dried up. Plus the water's not hot spring water, it's all manmade.

This is the pool with most water, everyone crowded into take pics, we managed to take some nice shots.

We stayed in a hotel called Venus: http://www.venushotel.net/index.php/
Very clean, nice host and wonderful service, breakfast's wonderful. If you want to spend a quiet time in Pamukkale and have trusted people helping you, Venus hotel is the one I'd like to recommend.
