Denizli Hot Springs
| Add comment |
The region has several curative Hot Springs very much worth a visit. The Cizmeli (Yenice) thermal is 16 kilometers away. The Golemezli Camur Thermal is made up of four springs each having a different characteristic. The Tekkekoy thermal is 20 kilometers away from Saraykoy. Here remains of a Roman bath contain pool and dressing rooms. The Kizildere Hot Spring 11 kilometers from Saraykoy has two domed Turkish bath or hamams. The waters here spring from red colored stones of the Saraykoy Village.
The waters of all these thermals are known to be beneficial to people suffering from rheumatism, skin and heart disease, gynecological and urethra disease and arteriosclerosis among other diseases.
But the pride of place among thermal springs is taken by the Hieropolis or Pammukale springs. The stalactites, cataracts and basins created by the calcareous salts of its waters put up a unique and spectacular display. This display has been beautifully and very aptly described as a "fairyland of dazzling white, petrified castles". The sight is magical. This spring has been used for its curative powers since Roman times. The complex with its motels is on a plateau. A visit to these springs is a must for every tourist.
