Denizli is a dynamic city in southwestern Turkey, world-famous as the gateway to Pamukkale — the extraordinary terraced white travertines and thermal pools that cascade down a hillside and are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List alongside Hierapolis, the ancient Greco-Roman city that crowns the plateau above. Beyond the travertines, Denizli province shelters Laodikeia (one of the Seven Churches of Revelation), Tripolis ancient city, the underground Kaklik Cave, hot red springs at Karahayıt, and the rugged Honaz Mountain National Park. The city itself is a prosperous textile and manufacturing hub, offering modern amenities, excellent lokanta dining, and affordable accommodation.
