About Karahayit Pamukkale Hot Springs (Kirmizi Su - Red Water)
These hot springs located in Karahayıt Town, which is 5 km north of Pamukkale Travertine, have similar characteristics like that of Pamukkale as a source of hot water. Due to the minerals existing in its structure, the hot spring water spreads reddish color to the environment and it is believed that they provide healing to the visitors for 5000 years. The 'Kirmizi Su' which translates to red water - natural hot thermal springs bubbling from beneath the calcite rocks - are very rich in calcium, magnesium and sulphurs, at about 56 degrees.
International Karahayıt Red Water Culture and Tourism Festival organizes in June every year events that attract many visitors who wish to entertain themselves while looking for healing at the hot spring resorts.
