Day trip to Salda lake from Side extensive explanation

Side to Salda lake and Pamukkale tour this is your chance to visit a unique beach with the purest white sand without leaving Turkey. If you have not been to Pamukkale, then – you have not seen the country. You can look at the miracle of nature, which has no analogues in the world, swim in the unique pool with thermal healing waters and visit the ancient city in one day, going on an excursion. It is also important that the tour does not involve tedious shopping and the program includesonly attractions.

The first stop on the journey will be the famous snow-white travertines of Pamukkale National Park. From Turkish, Pamukkale translates as — "cotton castle" or "cotton fortress". After a strong earthquake about four hundred thousand years ago, a rift formed in the earth's crust and hot waters poured out of it, enriched with a variety of substances and minerals. The calcium prevailing in the mineral water, when the water evaporated, settled and layered on the mountain surface, forming unusual formations resembling snowdrifts or walls of a fortress. They are located in the form of huge steps – terraces, which are called travertines.

It is definitely worth visiting the Cleopatra pool during the excursions from Side to Salda Lake and Pamukkale. It is so called due to the unique water, which not only rejuvenates, but also helps to treat diseases of the skin and the musculoskeletal system. The water is very rich in minerals, it can be taken orally to cleanse the intestines. If you want to feel the effect of hydromassage from small mineral bubbles, then you need to stand under small waterfalls.

The sacred city of Hierapolis, through which the excursion route of the Salda Lake and Pamukkale tour from Side runs, has preserved many ancient monuments. In the Roman era, it became famous as a balneological resort and flourished under the Roman emperors. But it was destroyed many times by earthquakes and rebuilt.

At different times, it was conquered by either the Seljuk Turks or the Ottomans, introducing their own historical and cultural changes into the development of the city. Here you will visit the ancient ancient amphitheater of Hierapolis, which has been perfectly preserved to this day. The majestic building accommodated up to 15 thousand spectators and had incredible acoustics, so powerful that the voice from the stage was heard even in the last rows.
