Among the ancient cities, only Hierapolis (Pamukkale) is in the boundary of the city and it is 19 km far from the project area. The distances of other ancient cities from project area are given below.
Eumenia (96 km) Tripolis (40 km)
Alacain (60 km) Herecleia Salbece (52 km)
Laund (64 km) Tabae ((78 km)
Sebastopolis (45 km) Colossae (25 km)
Anava (58 km) Attuda (37 km)
Trapezopolis (35 km)
Since these sites are located outside of the project area, they will not be affected from the project activities. The aforementioned tourist areas are shown in Fig. 2.5 on Denizli Province Map. Similarly, the figure also shows the area (Denizli center) where this EMP is conducted. As seen from this figure, the historic and tourist areas mentioned above are situated away from the Denizli city center. Thus, trench construction activities will not have negative impacts in these areas.
