In the previous installment of this travel journal, we were in southwest Turkey, in
Pamukkale, where people have been going for thousands of years to bathe in hot springs on travertine terraces.
The ancient Greco-Roman city of
Hierapolis was built there. In 1977, we had the site to ourselves. We were free to wander among the ruins, from the baths to the temples to the huge outdoor amphitheater.
More photos of Hierapolis after the jump.
