Kaklik Cave / Kaklık Mağarası - or underground Pamukkale, Denizli, Turkey, 5/26/2014
Kaklik Cave - or underground Pamukkale.
Pamukkale has a world-wide reputation. Kaklik Cave on the other hand is less known. Although as a native of the region it is only recently that I have come to know Kaklik Cave. It has been discovered in recent years. Kaklik Cave is 36 km from Denizli, a city in southwest Turkey. If you are travelling eastward from Denizli take a detour of 4 km when you reach Kaklik intersection on the highway.
Chemical sedimentation processes similar to those found in Pamukkale are also at work here in Kaklik Cave. There is a slight difference to the composition of the water though. Upon entering the cave you smell a strong scent of sulphur or rotten egg. Here there is a greenish formation on the rocks that may be due to bacterial growth or merely a chemical process. The pools and travertines are stunningly similar to those in Pamukkale although at a smaller scale.

Kaklik Cave / Kaklık Mağarası in Denizli, Turkey, 10/16/2013
Kaklik Cave (Kaklık Mağarası) is one of the lesser known places among visitors in Denizli region. Kaklik Cave is usually referred as the Underground Pamukkale and it's easy to understand why. Kaklik Cave has the same travertine structure as Pamukkale. The difference, however, it's smaller in size and it's inside a cave. The cave came to light after the collapse of its roof. After opening to tourists in 2002, Kaklik Cave started to earn visitor traction.
The water that comes out in the cave contains sulphur and high amount of sodium bicarbonate. This water is used for health purposes as well as agricultural irrigation in the area. Because the water contains sulphur, there's a smell in the cave which explains the name that locals gave for this location, Kokarhamam Pinari (which can be translated as Smelling Bath Foundation).
Kaklik Cave is 65 meters long in northwest-southeast direction and 40 meters long in northeast-southwest direction. The entrance, which is shaped as a circle is 13 to 11 meters wide. The deepest point of the cave is 14 meters from the entrance point and the total length of the cave is about 190 meters.
Kaklik Cave is definitely a good alternative destination to visit while you are in Denizli.

Entry from: Pamukkale, Turkey
Entry Title: Hieropolis; Travertines; Kaklik caves; Fethiye
Entry:
We rose somewhat late to a broken hot water system and no showers. We got ready and headed back up to the top of the cliffs to explore the ruins of Hieropolis, a city built to take advantage of the Pamukkale springs. We also got some great views of the travertines, or calcified waterfalls.
Hieropolis was the least interesting ruined city to date - mainly due to how spread out it was. The remains of the medieval castle were okay, and the Church Basilica was fairly intact. Simon climbed up to the Martyrium of St. Philip, a monument supposedly built on the site where Saint Philip was martyred by the Romans. Meanwhile, Scott and I had a wander along the edge of the cliffs.
The calcified waterfalls were mostly dried up at the northern end, as the water was being rerouted to the southern end to keep the Sacred Pool full. The north bit was mostly empty or shallow pools of brackish water, and the brilliant white of the limestone was tempered with rose, ochre, and green tinges here and there. Several pools had once been fairly deep, but most of them were rimmed with just a thin ring of limestone. Toward the centre of the falls, there still wasn't much water, but the remaining ledges were dripping with limestone stalactites, which looked pretty cool.
At the south where the spring was flowing, the crystalline, pale blue water filled several deep, large pools and trickled down a meandering path to a large, spring-fed lake in a grassy park below. This was the most beautiful part of the cliffs, with the colours mirroring the cerulean blue sky and ethereal white clouds.
A wider path led between a broad, shallow, black wading pool at the north, down to a deeper, pale blue wading pool at the south (the Sacred Pool), zig-zagging back through the dripping ledges in the centre. However, you had to be barefoot to walk down and the path is sharp, plus we had parked up at the top so would have to walk back up again ... in all we decided not to walk the cliffs.
We left Pamukkale a little past noon and drove back to Denizli to work our way toward the Kaklik caves, sort of an underground version of the travertines at Pamukkale. This was well off the beaten track, in the middle of a travertine quarry, and only one other family was there. A pervasive odour of sulfur filled the air and was especially strong at the dark mouth of the cave where a bubbling brook flowed in. We descended the dark, rusted, practically rotting metal staircase into the cave where the odour was not as bad.
Inside the cave were many calcified ledges just like at Pamukkale, but water flowed over all of them and plants climbed up the sides of some cascading falls. The waters in the cave are said to have healing powers and we saw one older couple wade into a black pool and sit down. We weren't quite brave enough to try that, instead content with admiring the cave through the occasional beam of sunlight from another brook entrance.
Overall the cave was less visually impressive than the massive snow-white cliffs at Pamukkale, but a more enjoyable experience than the heavily touristed Pamukkale park.
Back to Denizli one last time to find the road to Fethiye, which once again twisted us along forested mountains and gorgeous coast. We drove along the coast in the city and parked just outside the Irem Pansiyon, where we ended up staying. I had a shower while Scott and Simon walked down to the harbour to find out information about day cruises.
They came back with several brochures for 12 Island cruises and we settled on one that would sail with only 15 - a smaller group appealed to us. We headed back down to the harbour to book the cruise - he had 8 booked, counting us, and said that he would put us on another boat if he didn't sail - and we had dinner at a nearby restaurant. I had an absolutely abysmal pasta, but Scott's Turkish casserole and Simon's mediterranean pizza were nice. Then back to the pansion for an alarm-less sleep, as our cruise the next day wasn't even leaving 'til 10:30!

Denizli Kaklik Cave LocationUnder Pamukkale
The cave was formed as a result of the collapse of the ceiling of the underground cavity formed by a large underground creek. There is a large travertine mass inside the cave. After the collapse of the ceiling of this travertine mass, the coke bath in the immediate vicinity of the cave was formed as a result of the spring waters flowing into the cave by making waterfalls. The interior of the cave has plenty of sunlight due to its wide cave entrance. These solar lights led to the growth of algae and vines on the moist rocks in the cave. These greens add a different beauty to the cave. Drooping and drop stones inside the cave are other beauties of this cave.

HIERAPOLIS - PAMUKKALE - Turchia - di Sergio Colombini
Con l'itinerario di oggi visitiamo Hierapolis, importante città ellenistico-romana della Frigia.
Le rovine si trovano nella odierna località di Pamukkale (castello di cotone), situata nella provincia di Denizli, in Turchia, famosa per le sue sorgenti calde che formano concrezioni calcaree.
Hierapolis di Frigia è uno dei siti archeologici e naturalistici più frequentati del Mediterraneo, con circa 1,5 milioni di visitatori all'anno.
Le maggiori attrazioni turistiche sono rappresentate dalle concrezioni calcaree, dalle calde acque termali che sgorgano in mezzo alle rovine, e il patrimonio architettonico della città antica: un teatro romano molto ben conservato, una vasta necropoli e il martyrion dell'apostolo Filippo, il cui complesso occupa per intero la collina che sovrasta la città.
Le recenti attività di scavo hanno permesso di riconoscere l´impianto urbano di Hierapolis, riferibile probabilmente ad età ellenistica, con un asse principale nord-sud, la grande plateia (strada principale), lungo la quale si sviluppa un reticolo stradale ortogonale che divide la città in isolati regolari, piuttosto allungati. All´interno di questo impianto si disponevano gli edifici pubblici e le case. Nella parte nord della città, lungo la strada che portava verso Tripolis, cominciarono a formarsi, tra il II e il I secolo a.C., i primi nuclei della necropoli, che si svilupperà in età imperiale, con tombe a fossa ed edifici funerari.
Dopo la visita della città di Hierapolis abbiamo fatto una passeggiata sulle concrezioni calcaree.

Get Lost Project: Kaklik Cave (Underground Pamukkale)
Kaklik Cave is called an underground Pamukkale. Cool, but not very big cave is located around 40km away from Denizili. Great runaway from crowded with tourists Pamukkale. The lights, noises and colors are spectacular.
Kaklık Mağarası / Kaklik Cave in Denizli, Turkey - Turkiye (Inside) HD denizlihotel.com
Günümüzden yaklaşık 2 -2,5 milyon yıl önce çökelen kireçtaşlarını kükürtlü termal suların eritmeleri sonucu oluşmaya başlamıştır. İlk oluşan yeraltı boşluğunun tavanının çökmesi sonucu meydana gelen çöküntü konisinin üzeri, mağara dışındaki bir kaynaktan gelen karbonatlı suyun oluşturduğu traverten havuzları ile kaplıdır. Pamukkale'deki havuzlara çok benzeyen bu şekiller, basamaklar halinde üst üste gelişmiştir. Mağara ağzından şelale oluşturarak giren sular, bir havuzdan diğerine geçerek, güneş ışınlarının gün içindeki geliş açılarına göre her an değişen görüntüler yaratmaktadır. Mağara duvarlarında yosun ve küçük sarmaşıklar gelişmiştir. Gün içinde yeşilin değişik tonlarında renkler alan bu bitkiler, güneş ışınlarının etkisiyle, mağaraya son derece ilginç bir güzellik katmaktadır.

Kaklik cave also known as the Pamukkale cave is located about 45 kilometres from the real Pamukkale in Denizli. The cave is full of travertine waters, stalagmites, stalactites and a large quantity of sulphur. The amount of sulphur makes the cave quite odorous. The cave was formed over 2.5 million years ago, during the Pliocene Period. The roof collapsed, allowing entrance. The maximum depth is 14 metres and inside there are several rimstone pools and waterfalls, which are thought to be beneficial in the treatment of skin diseases and arthritis. Several of the walls receive enough sunlight to grow moss and climbing plants.

Kaklik Caves/ Kaklık mağaraları, Denizli, Turkey
This is a short introductory video about the Kaklik Caves in Denizli Turkey. They are called Mini Pamukkale.
During my time of visit, the electricity was out, so I didn't get much done. But I am sure it would still be very fun and exciting.
