Pamukkale : one of the natural wonders of Turkey, the thermal spa with its hot springs laden with calcareous salts. As the waters spill down over the plateau edge they have deposited their salts over the centuries to create an extraordinary network of fantastical rock formations, gleaming white staractites, cataracts and basins.

Ancient Hierapolis : many visitors are so focused on the amazing rock formations, they barely notice that the high plateau is also the site of the ancient spa of Hierapolis, built by Pergamon King in the Roman era, to gain control of the springwater and harness its reputed religious and mythical qualities. Most of the ancient ruins are set back from the plateau edge; the first group you come to as you walk "inland" are the original Roman Baths, consisting of two tall, vaulted rooms now housing a small museum. Beside this is a "palaestra", or an open coutyard for exercise, and behind it lie the remains of a vast Basilicia with three naves, thought from its size to have been the cathedral erected in the 6th century when Hierapolis became a bishopric. Further up the plateau stands the restored "nymphaeum" and close by is the Temple of Apollo, recognisable by its wide flight of stairs. The modern road follows the course of the original main street for a mile (km) until it reaches the Monumental Gate to the north, passing on the right the huge theatre, still well-preserved and with some magnificent carvings and reliefs. Do not miss the tombs that line the old road out to Ephesus from this northern gateway. Over 1200 have been counted, making this one of the most extensive ancient cemeteries in Asia Minor.
