PAMUKKALE-ERCIYES LINE

Here are two different cities where I had chance to live in them. One of them is, with its white paradise Pamukkale; Denizli, the other one is, with its supreme mountain Erciyes; Kayseri. When you look at the whole picture, you will see huge differences but at the same time you will see perfect similarities between these two mystical cities.
Denizli and Kayseri are really far from each other but they have amazing similarities. First, both cities are touristic places. In summers Denizli, in winters Kayseri turn to a holiday paradise for tourists who love water and snow. People from the other countries, who have knowledge about Pamukkale’s ‘beautify water’ come to Denizli to see this world’s 8. wonder alive. Also tourists join ‘winter feast’ in Erciyes and they challenge with many talented skier. The second thing Denizli has a growing industry just like Kayseri. Kayseri’s logistics, which connects south and west, helps to improve Kayseri’s furniture industry. Also with its growing textile industry, Denizli goes after Kayseri. Next; as Denizli public, Kayseri public is so genial and cheerful. Besides, denizli people are known with their enterprising and also Kayseri people are famous for their incisiveness.
Even with their similarities, there are appreciable differances between each other. The first thing, in both places there are many social areas where you can enjoy yourselves. However thanks to its bigger acreage, Kayseri has more central parks than Denizli. While Denizli has limited shopping centres and amusement park, in Kayseri you can find many places to go and enjoy. The next thing is climate. Because of the different areas where two cities are located, climates of these cities are very different from each other. Kayseri has a harsh climate which brings snow and cold even in spring. In contrast of Kayseri, Denzli has moderate weather. Moreover with the help of its wide roads and tram, Kayseri’s traffic is fluent but I can’t say the same thing for my hometown Denizli, unfortunately. Recently, because of the road constructions in Denizli, traffic is becoming worse and worse for people.
Wherever I go I miss two cities. It’s unbelievable that my heart beats for two different places at the same time. I fell in love with not only their modern city life but also historical and mystic side of their face. When I want to relieve myself, I take a deep breath and let these two cities’ dream to surround me.
