Pamukkale stands out not only for its warm, mineral-rich waters flowing from natural springs and pools but also as the location where Hierapolis was established, a remarkable example of a Graeco-Roman thermal complex. The site also features Christian monuments that represent outstanding examples of early Christian architectural ensembles.
Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a stunning natural wonder named after the mineral deposits left by its thermal springs. The area is famous for its mineral formations, petrified waterfalls, and terraced pools resembling a natural nymphaeum, all created by the abundant minerals in this historic site. It is no surprise that Pamukkale is among Turkey’s top tourist destinations.
The ancient Greeks believed the hot springs had the power to transform the landscape and provide healing properties, which led to the construction of a thermal spa complex during Roman times. This historic site, known as Hierapolis Ancient City, remains one of the most fascinating archaeological locations in Turkey.
Following breakfast at your hotel, we will pick you up from your hotel around 07:30 AM and transfer you to Hierapolis Ancient City for an exploration lasting approximately 2.5 hours. During the visit, we will explore Turkey’s largest necropolis (cemetery), the Domitian and Byzantium Gates, the main street, and the theatre with a seating capacity of 20,000. After touring the theatre, you will have some leisure time to take a swim in Cleopatra Pool if you wish. Please note there is an additional entrance fee of 10 Euros for access to the pool. Once the walk through the ruins of Hierapolis concludes, we will proceed to the Travertine terraces.
The travertine pools are remarkable natural formations created by thermal springs rich in calcium bicarbonate, chalk, and limestone. The travertines flow down the slopes naturally, resembling a frozen waterfall in appearance. The tour will conclude around 4:00 PM, followed by a return drive to your hotel in Antalya. The group size for this tour will be limited to 16 participants.
The cost of this tour is 90 Euros per person. Please email us for further details and to secure your reservation. We guarantee a response to your inquiry within 24 hours.
