PAMUKKALE INFORMATION |
-
The
stunning white calcium pools, which cling
to the side of a ridge, have long been one
of the most famous picture postcard views
of Turkey. Pamukkale, literally meaning
“cotton castle”, is also the site of the
ancient city of Hierapolis of which there
are many interesting ruins, and is a very
popular destination for a short visit.
-
Pamukkale was formed
when a spring with a high content of dissolved
calcium bicarbonate cascaded over the edge
of the cliff, which cooled and hardened
leaving calcium deposits. This formed into
natural pools, shelves and ridges, which
tourists could plunge and splash in the
warm water. Hotels were springing up from
the 1970s to cater for the large influx
of tourists, and shortly afterwards UNESCO
declared it a World Heritage Site. But by
the 1990s, this took its toll on the state
of the calcium pools and restrictions were
placed on these travertine terraces.
Many
hotels were knocked down, visitors are only
allowed on major paths around the sites,
and must remove footwear to stand on the
calcium deposits. This seems to have been
a successful move, as the water supply is
now used for preservation and some of the
damaged calcium deposits have been strengthened.
