I traveled 10 hours to see some water and rocks- and it was awesome.

               Pamukkale is not a destination that many people try to get to from Izmir, but it’s entirely doable if you keep yourself on a strict timetable. If you’re interested in how that works, check out this page: http://bit.ly/1L8dWTn.

               It’s a long day- up early in the morning for the Izmir-Denizli train (which you ride the entire length), 30 minute minibus ride to the site, 2 ½ hours to explore and walk around, and then another bus/train ride back. You leave Izmir at 7:45am and don’t return until about 10:30 at night.
