Karahayıt Red Spring
Karahayıt Kırmızı Su
An iron-rich hot spring that deposits small terraces in red, orange and green, located in a hot spring village 5 kilometers north of Pamukkale.
The water of Karahayıt Red Spring is about 55°C and rich in iron and minerals. As it flows, it forms reddish-brown travertine steps, in striking contrast to the pure white of Pamukkale. The red spring at the village center is free to view. Many hot spring hotels nearby have indoor and outdoor pools, making it a good place to spend a night soaking. It is about 10 minutes from Pamukkale town by minibus or taxi, or you can make a stop on the way from the north gate of the site.
