Insider tip — Thermal facilities of the Gendarmerie in Karahayıt, a village adjacent to Pamukkale (Denizli). The waters of Karahayıt are rich in iron, calcium and magnesium (50-60°C) and owe their characteristic red colour to iron oxide — hence the nickname 'Kırmızı Su' (red water). A striking contrast with the white travertines of Pamukkale, 15 minutes away.
