Pamukkale

The geological events that enliven Pamukkale are widely affected. There are 17 hot water areas with temperatures between 35-100 C in this region. Pamukkale is a unit for thermal feeding. The source has been used since ancient times.

Hierapolis

Hierapolis, known as the "Holy City" in archaeological literature, is a giant city that deserves this name due to the many religious buildings and temples in it. Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988, the ruins include structures such as the Temple of Apollo and the Plutonium, as well as one of the most beautiful ancient theaters in the Mediterranean.

Temple of Apollon

One of the important parts of Hierapolis is the section where the Temple of Apollo, called the "Sacred Heart", and Plutonium is located. Studies show that the visitors coming to Hierapolis consulted the priest of the Temple of Apollo on the issues they wanted to resolve, and the priest in turn gave a letter he chose from the alphabet to the client to guide him as an answer.

Plutonium

Plutonium (Hell Gate), located on the side of the Temple of Apollo, was seen as a gateway to the realm of the dead. The reason why the building was named as such was that the carbon dioxide emission in the cave in the middle caused the poisoning of the living things that entered the building and caused their death. Plutonium was a region that attracted many visitors as a touristic place in ancient times, and visitors who came to see this place left their offerings in the cave to offer gifts to the gods.
