Pamukkale Hostels - Online Hostel Booking for pamukkale, Turkey Hostels

* See the blisteringly white terraced pools of Pamukkales hot springs, the result of thousands of years of deposits by the calcium rich hot springs

* Visit the Ancient city of Hierapolis, a World Heritage Site

* Swim in the Sacred Pool amongst fallen Roman columns in the former Pamukkale Motel (now the Pamukkale Thermal)

For thousands of years visitors have extolled the healing powers of Pamukkales calcium-rich hot springs, which created a unique, snow-white landscape of terraced pools and petrified waterfalls as the spring water cascaded down a hillside.

In the 70s and 80s a visitor to the little town outside Denizli could take a cheap room, walk to the springs and plop down in a pool. No more (well, not officially, anyway). Hotels built at the site of the spring to service increasing numbers of tourists and irresponsible tourism itself caused the spring to almost stop springing, and the unrefreshed pools turned a dingy gray.

UNESCO was called in. Pamukkale was christened one of the Eminenent Cultural Heritages of the world. Hotels that diverted the spring water were torn down. Trails were set up through the pools, and dipping in them was dissalowed. (There have evidently been some unconvincingly fake pools built for tourists to frolic in.)

In any case, the pools have returned to their pristeen whiteness, and are once again a worthwhile tourist destination.
