It would be an awesome sight to see all the travertines overflowing with water, and to bathe and laze ın the pools, soakıng up the afternoon sun. I fear those days are behind Pammulkale. Nevertheless, the milky blue of the pools (the few that have water flowing into them) set among the stark white of the travertines and contrasted against a deep blue cloudless sky and expansive valley below, do make for some fantstic sıghts (and İ hope some memorable photos).
We also had a great wander through the ruins of Hieropolis. Perhaps lesser known than Ephesus, but no less deserving of praise. Sitting just above the familiar white travertines, the city would have enjoyed breathtaking and spectacular views across a wide valley to the (still) snow capped mountains beyond. İt was just a little
mındblowing to think of 150,000 people living in this place, a large number of them seeking the benefits of the healing waters and legendary health spa.
Visiting Pammukale as a day trip from Selçuk, with a 3 hour bus ride each way, does make for a long day. It made me appreciate Sanya's homecookıng at Homeros Pension all the more.
