1. On this tour, delve into the history of Hierapolis, an ancient city built atop solid limestone layers created by these mineral waters. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hierapolis boasts remarkable landmarks such as the grand Roman Theatre, the Temple of Apollo, the vast Necropolis, and the Ploutonion, also known as Pluto's Gate. Stroll through its main street, marvel at the ancient gates, and immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of this sacred city. Pamukkale, often referred to as the "Cotton Castle," is a stunning natural phenomenon where gleaming white travertine terraces cascade down a hillside, shaped by mineral-rich hot springs flowing over millennia. This captivating landscape offers a unique opportunity to walk along its terraces and even relax in its healing thermal waters. This full-day experience offers a seamless journey, combining natural wonders and historical exploration, departing from Selcuk or Kusadasi with comfortable transport and expert guidance.

2. Enjoy the healing waters of Pamukkale and walk in the natural warm water terraces, which were formed by running warm water rich in calcium. The temperature of the water is about 35 Celsius year round. You will have the chance to see the gleaming white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, located next to the ruins of Hierapolis. The extraordinary effect is created when the water from the hot springs sheds the minerals it contains as it flows down the slopes, leaving deposits of limestone. The layers of white calcium carbonate, built up in steps on the plateau, gave the site its name of 'cotton castle'. Take the OPTIONAL chance to have a swim at the antique pool of Cleopatra's.

About Pamukkale

Pamukkale is a hillside of dazzling white travertine terraces in western Turkey, topped by the ruins of the Roman spa city of Hierapolis.

Pamukkale, meaning cotton castle in Turkish, is a long slope of white travertine terraces and shallow pools, formed by mineral-rich hot water running down the hillside. At the top lie the ruins of Hierapolis, a Greek and Roman spa city founded in the second century BC, and together they form a UNESCO World Heritage site. Warm spring water still fills the pools.
