A very interesting attraction. I recommend you to visit. The territory is large, it has an amphitheater (which is well preserved), Cleopatra's pool, and the most interesting thermal springs, which are saturated with calcium, and over the centuries have formed a cascade of terraced baths decorated with calcite stalactites.
The springs, along with the ruins of Hierapolis, are included in the UNESCO list.
And not so long ago (years ago), balloon flights began to gain momentum. This is also a very spectacular show, both from the ground and from the basket of an aircraft. Of course, the number is still very far behind Cappadocia, but it looks impressive.
It's a great place, very beautiful and unusual. I advise everyone to visit. Snow-white travertines, preserved cultural and historical monuments. Informative and a great place for a well-spent vacation.
Over the years, of course, everything falls into disrepair, a large influx of tourists, lack of care and opportunities for natural restoration, they say, soon they will not remain at all in the form that they are, but it's a pity
It takes a long time to get there from almost any resort, but there is definitely something to see. There are a lot of tourists there during the season, and Cleopatra's hydrogen sulfide pool is simply teeming with bodies. But in reality, the number of attractions gathered in one place is off the charts.
Twice, with a difference of 10 years, we went to the travertines themselves and we can note that, like all other attractions in Turkey, they are gradually falling into disrepair. They're still being tinted, and it's still very beautiful.
But there is another possibility, which is much more beautiful than moving through the heat from one archaeological site to another. This is a balloon flight. I recommend him unequivocally and uncompromisingly. The view from a height of one kilometer to almost two (we were lucky with the operator) is simply fantastic. And this is not a metaphor. At the moment when the sun casts its first rays on the mountains, it feels like you are on Mars.
