Pamukkale, one of southwest Turkey’s oldest tourist attractions, hosted some 70,000 local and foreign tourists over five days of celebration during the Muslim religious holiday of Eid al-Adha.<\/p>\n
Pamukkale is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its mineral-rich thermal waters and white travertine terraces.<\/p>\n
Located in Turkey’s Aegean province Denizli, the world-renowned Pamukkale is popular among tourists from across the globe, particularly Europe, East Asia, Latin America as well as Russia.<\/p>\n
Gazi Murat Sen, the president of a local tourism and hotel management association, told Anadolu Agency that Pamukkale was also visited by many tourists thanks to its location on the crossroad of resort cities along Turkey’s coasts.<\/p>\n
“We would like to welcome more visitors by publicizing Denizli’s tourism potential,” he said.<\/p>\n
With the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis nearby, Pamukkale has been known as a center for thermal health for millennia since Roman times and is especially famous for its white limestone travertines, shaped by calcium-rich hot springs.<\/p>\n
Visitors walk barefoot in the hot springs along the travertine terraces, which remain at comfortably warm temperatures even in the winter.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
