Antalya To Pamukkale Tour

Overview

Pamukkale, located in western Turkey near the city of Denizli, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. The area was first settled by the Phrygians, an ancient people who lived in central Anatolia around 1200 BC. Later, the Greeks and Romans also inhabited the area, and Pamukkale became an important center for healing and relaxation.

During the Roman period, the city of Hierapolis was established near the hot springs of Pamukkale. Hierapolis was renowned for its thermal baths and was a popular destination for people seeking relief from various ailments. The city also had a large Christian community, and several important Christian figures, including St. Philip and St. Hierotheos, are said to have lived and preached in the area.

During the Byzantine period, Pamukkale continued to be an important city, and many of the structures that can still be seen today, such as the well-preserved theater, were built during this time. In the 7th century, the city was destroyed by an earthquake, and it was never fully rebuilt.

After the decline of the Byzantine Empire, Pamukkale became part of the Ottoman Empire. During this time, the hot springs continued to be used for therapeutic purposes, and the Ottomans built several structures, including a mosque and a bathhouse, in the area.

In the 20th century, Pamukkale became a popular tourist destination, and efforts were made to preserve the area's natural beauty and historical significance. In 1988, the area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and today, it remains one of Turkey's most popular tourist attractions.
