Ep. 121 ~ Exploring the Wonders of Pamukkale & Hierapolis: A Journey Through Turkey’s Ancient Marvels

Join us on an extraordinary adventure as we set sail through the Mediterranean on our catamaran, with our brave little blind dog Zoë leading the way! In this episode, we make a unique side trip from the sea to the breathtaking landscapes of Pamukkale and the ancient ruins of Hierapolis in Turkey.

Pamukkale is a natural wonder, famous for its stunning white travertine terraces formed by mineralrich hot springs. This "Cotton Castle" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a mustsee for any traveler in Turkey. We'll take you through the terraces and show you the best spots to soak in the beauty of this surreal landscape.

Right next to Pamukkale lies Hierapolis, an ancient city that once thrived as a healing center due to its hot springs. Explore with us the wellpreserved ruins, including the majestic theater, ancient baths, and the fascinating Necropolis. We'll delve into the rich history of this oncethriving city and uncover its secrets.

Don't miss our previous episodes where we explored other incredible ancient sites in Turkey, such as Ephesus, St. Nicholas Island, Knidos, the sunken city of Kekova, and the Myra tombs.
