After Aphrodisias, we continued west to Pamukkale, the site of the ancient city of Hieropolis. Pamukkale is particularly interesting because the spring at Hieropolis contains a large amount of calcium that has built up over the millenia that the water has flowed over the mountainside. The result is a white cliff face of calcium carbonate. We were able to walk up from the bottom of the mountainside to the site barefoot (since shoes damage the site).
