The travel travel vacation packages blog realm has been buzzing with tales about the wonders of Turkey lately – and for good reason. It's about damn time this place got the recognition it deserves. Turkey surprised me more than any other country I've visited so far. It's easy to get wrapped up in some of the negative stories that were also circulating in 2013, but ignore that crap. The news aims to shock and scare, anyway.
I m going to be sharing quite a bit about Turkey s splendor, but let s begin with one of the first things I was able to experience: Pamukkale. After arriving in Bodrum via ferry, spending one night in Izmir, taking travel vacation packages one bus to Denizli, travel vacation packages and one dolmuş to the beginning of Pamukkale s pools, I finally started to get a feel for how friggin pretty this country is.
Pamukkale is one of Turkey's most well-known and frequently visited natural sites, and the name literally means "cotton castle." Now, it's not actually made out of cotton, but calcium carbonate, which is science for "white chalky stuff." Turquoise, travertine travel vacation packages pools break up the white landscape, and offer up a nice break from the heat. Find a pool and hang out for a bit. Since I visited during the summer it was super busy… and frankly offered travel vacation packages some excellent travel vacation packages people watching.
Yup, you'll arrive at the bus station travel vacation packages in Denizli. Despite what tour operators tell you, the normal buses do not take you directly to Pamukkale. Don't be too shocked when you arrive in Denizli, because it's not exactly the most charming of towns at first glance.
Once you get to the bus station find a dolmuş to Pamukkale. There will be plenty, but if you're confused just approach someone and ask for the "dole-mush to Pam-ooo-kahl-ay?" You'll probably get the exact pronunciation a bit off, but they'll get the point.
Once you cough up approximately 3 TL (Turkish lira) and travel 20 kilometers out of town, your eyes will be assaulted by one of the coolest things you've ever seen. Walk toward it, pay the entrance fee (20 TL), take off your shoes, and wander around happily.
If you're doing a day trip to Pamukkale before taking a night bus elsewhere, the Denizli bus station travel vacation packages has luggage storage. Find the ticket office and ask around until someone there finally gives up and helps you. The storage room looks like this:
Spend some time wandering around Pamukkale s other offerings, like the Roman amphitheater of Hierapolis (it s at the top of the travertines, travel vacation packages so no excuses) and the actual town (which is very compact and easily wanderable. travel vacation packages Is that even a word? It is now.)
