| Stone formations at Pammukale |
Yesterday morning I spent the day having a look at the sights in Pammukale. These consist mainly of the weird stone formations and rock pools from the hot springs, and the Roman cite of Hieropolis. The site ıs really interesting - mineral rich water cascading down the sıde of the hill have created some very unique and interesting formations and rock pools. It looks almost like snow, and there is no way up to Hieropolis without getting your feet wet - the water pours down the path up the mountain like a little river.

| Main street of Hieropolis |
Hieropolis itself is at this stage, to me, just another ruin. It's mostly Roman, but I believe there was a Greek cıty there originally. I daresay it would have been an impressive city in the day - fountains were built everywhere due to the natural springs.
