Itinerary
Morning pickup from your hotel or meeting point in Antalya. Scenic drive to Pamukkale by private vehicle.
An ancient Greco-Roman city founded in the 2nd century BC and famous for its thermal springs. During the Roman period, Hierapolis became an important spa and religious center. Today, visitors can explore its well-preserved ruins, including the grand theatre, necropolis, and ancient baths, reflecting the rich history of the city.
A natural wonder formed over thousands of years by mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down the hillside. The calcium deposits created the famous white terraces, giving Pamukkale its name, meaning “Cotton Castle.” The travertines have attracted visitors since ancient times and are now part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Pamukkale and Hierapolis.
A unique thermal pool located within the ancient city of Hierapolis, where visitors can swim among submerged Roman columns. According to legend, the pool was a gift to Cleopatra and has been famous since antiquity for its warm, mineral-rich waters. Swimming requires an extra fee. (Note: pool temporarily closed for restoration in 2025).
