We arrived in Pamukkale at 7 o'clock in the morning. The Airbnb hosts agreed to accommodate us early. After three hours of driving at high speed on Izmir Autobahns, it was so nice to be in this cozy mountain village where roosters crowed and sheep ran. I discovered Pamukkale, an ancient village, about which I will write separately. And today we will only touch on this Turkish legend, taking a walk at the foot, where there is a noisy goose lake.
Our apartment was surprisingly rare for Turkey because it had underfloor heating. We were happy. While enjoying the sky at dawn, we suddenly noticed: there are many balloons flying in the sky. We know that balloons fly over Cappadocia, but we didn't expect to see balloons over Pamukkale!
Victoria grabbed her phone and ran to the roof to film this fascinating sight. By the way, this is a dream of my daughters - to fly in a hot air balloon. But if we were correctly informed - such an extreme air ride costs $350 for one person. And this is too expensive for us yet.
We enjoyed this beautiful sight from the roof of our house. Orbs, like magical alien creatures, moved slowly in the crimson sky. And we can only imagine the feelings of these people who are in these baskets!
Later, we got some sleep and went to look for this legendary snow-white desert, which is well-known and famous for its turquoise baths. We saw a white mountain of amazing nature. At the foot of this mountain was a lake, on the shore of which stood a pink retro car. This is a very atmospheric place where lovers film their love stories!
Many geese were swimming in the lake. They fought among themselves for the food that the tourists gave them. It was very fun and interesting to watch them. They shouted loudly and actively moved on the water :)
After looking at the geese enough, we went to the entrance to this snow-white mountain, but we found that we came too late and it was 10 minutes before closing time. We have museum cards that entitle us to free entry. That's why we went in, but there was an interesting moment. We had to take off our shoes and walk barefoot or in socks.
It was a little cold in the legs, but the sensations were incredible. We explored this snow-white rock that was like lime and made a snow-white corrugation. Like a petrified avalanche of white color.
Beautiful views of the sunset sky and several turquoise pools in the background were visible from above.
And the next day we went to the upper entrance, where there was access to contemplate the unique turquoise baths and the ruins of the old city. So, wait for the next story.
