The Aegean Region is a historic city ruin in the Upper Büyük Menderes Basin. The ruins of this city, which is named Hierapolis in antiquity, are located near the village of Ecirli, which is connected to the center of today's Denizli district.
This name was given to Pamukkale because of the white rocks such as cotton (from cotton), which resulted from the precipitation of calcareous hot waters. These white pumice stones, which look like frozen as a cascade flows, are Pamukkale's world-famous tourist attractions. In addition, the destruction of the historic Hierapolis is another tourist attraction.
Hierapolis was a large, flourishing city in ancient times. The open air theater has parts that are still standing between the ruins of the great structures. It is understood that the city was burned down in earthquakes that shook this region in succession.
Other than the destruction of Hierapolis in Pamukkale, the Plutonium (Sharon) Cave, which is important from touristic point of view, is also famous. Lethal gases are emitted from this cave. Again, the lime waters in this region are hard to fill. In the meantime, there are also water arches in the north-east of Denizli, near the village of Bucali, which have become channels from the lime sink.
