  A full-day trip from Marmaris on an organised tour with a big bus. I left early, around 6-7, to arrive 13h later and spend only about 3 hours at Pumakkale... That was the only disappointing part. First breakfast (included) stop, then shop some onyx. I got there for a tour with a guide and then some time to roam around and use the pools. Then time to gather at the bus to take a short drive to lunch (buffet) and then again back on the coach to some taste wine place. One last stop to use the toilet before getting back to Marmaris. Overall, Pamukkale is a must-visit place. If possible, take your own transport so you can enjoy the HUGE place, time around between ruins, deep the feet in the small pools, take a swim at the thermal pool (ticket on the side) and sit and relax in the amphitheatre with a capacity for 15,000. ATTENTION: shade is very limited, so if you go as I did on a hot summer day, ensure you take enough water, a hat and sun cream, as the heat can cook you. However, there are at least three cafes/restaurants, but if you are enjoying your walking in between ruins, those places can mean a 20-30min walk in the sun. Take appropriate shoes to walk up and down, and be prepared to be barefoot in the snow-white lakes of Pumakkale. The initial ticket for the trip includes the journey, breakfast, lunch and the entrance ticket (ruins and Pamukkale) but not the pool, which should be bought from the tour guide on site. Conclusion: a must-see once-in-a-lifetime place! If taking a tour, forget about time to dip in the thermal Cleopatra pool!

• 3Pammukekale was good, no textile workshops though

  Overall I enjoyed the day but was left disappointed. The trip was advertised as pamukkale and textile workshops. I booked solely for the workshops. Their was no workshops, instead their was a visit to onyx stones gift shop and a wine gift shop. Both gift shops was very expensive.

  Hi - a couple of points 1. They had too many passengers on the coach and took about an hour to decide who should get off and catch an alternative coach - delayed setting off from Marmaris 2. ⁠also meant that one of the two guides had to sit by me - all he did was go to sleep - put his seat into the passanger behind and coughing all the time 3. ⁠I don’t think the English of both tour guides was brilliant considering it was an English speaking tour (particularly the man) 4. The initial delay meant that we had less time than forecast at the destination 5. ⁠the coach driver was excellent 6. ⁠the breakfast didn’t live up to expectations - stale bread and no milk (just powder) in the hot drinks 7. ⁠the worse point was the lunch - we have been on tours all over the World over many years - this was by far the worst food - the salad was so old and was covered in flies. It really was inedible

About Marmaris

Marmaris is a Turkish Mediterranean resort around a deep, pine-fringed bay, with a small castle, a yacht harbour and ferries to the Greek island of Rhodes.

Marmaris sits at the head of a long, sheltered bay surrounded by pine-covered mountains, and the harbour is lined with moored yachts and gulets. The small castle above the old quarter was rebuilt by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522, when he gathered his fleet here before sailing against Rhodes, and it now houses a museum. Whitewashed lanes of the old town lead down to the bazaar.
