This is the old amphitheater at Pamukkale, which is a popular health center from ancient times. People came for the thermal baths. The road at the entrance is made of slabs of travertine.

Tourists come from afar to enjoy the hot thermal bath at Pamukkale. The pool is full of old columns and blocks from the old structure. We saw several middle aged men wearing speedos!.

Ekmek at the restaurant in the Pamukkale hotel. Believe it or not, we had a hard time finding ekmek like that we used to eat. Rarely did we find the crusty dense bread we remembered.

A view of the necropolis at Pamukkale. Sons were obliged to provide elaborate tombs to honor their fathers.
