The common features of Buldan houses are that they generally have bay windows and wide eaves, and they are structures where mudbrick and wooden materials are used together. One of the most important features of these structures is that they are built in a way that does not obstruct each other’s views and is suitable for slope house structuring.

Pamukkale Travertines

Pamukkale, a mixed heritage site on the UNESCO World Heritage List, features stunning white travertines formed by thermal water supersaturated with calcium carbonate. When this water comes into contact with surface oxygen, it creates formations resembling frozen waterfalls and small terraced pools. Pamukkale is included in almost all lists of “must-see places”! Throughout history, people have known about the healing properties of the thermal waters of Pamukkale and have stayed in Hierapolis for receiving treatment. Touching the travertines themselves, which are as white as snow and which are formed by the thermal water regenerating from Hierapolis, is also quite an experience! Currently, the Pamukkale travertines are mostly under preservation in order to avoid any deterioration in the originality of their natural beauty. Resembling a fabulous field of snow-white clouds, their natural beauty is rare and they represent a location where history and nature embrace. Another highly recommended local experience is to swim in the Antique Pool, also known as Cleopatra’s Pool, next to the Pamukkale travertines. The calcareous structure, white color, and warm thermal water is a one-of-a-kind experience! It is without a doubt that you will be enchanted by Pamukkale’s many beauties and attractions!
