What’s ahead of you?

• You will see with your own eyes the miracle of the world – Pamukkale castle and you will have the opportunity to swim in the Cleopatra thermal pool. You will experience firsthand what life was like in the ancient city of Hierapolis and in the city of the dead necropolis.
• The best time spent on vacation is a trip to Pamukkale!

A trip to Pamukkale is one of the most popular in turkey. As the Turkish proverb says, “everyone who was not in Pamukkale did not seem to know turkey.”

Cleopatra herself came to Pamukkale to bathe in its healing waters.

The hot springs of thermal water form white limestone cascades with thermal pools on the slopes of Pamukkale. You can feel the healing properties of the water both when walking on limestone cascades and when swimming in the ancient Cleopatras pool. Pamukkale waters treat skin diseases, heart disease, obesity, asthma, or rheumatism. Drinking water from Pamukkale even helps to treat stomach ulcers.

Pamukkale served in ancient times as a spa in Hierapolis. Remains that have been preserved can still be admired to this day in the form of an ancient theater, the temple of Apollo, the Roman baths, the aqueduct system, the city gate, or the largest preserved ancient necropolis in Asia, where you can see over 1000 carved sarcophagi.

A full day trip by bus, including full board, is designed for all ages. Pamukkale is a place that will undoubtedly enchant you with its beautiful specific scenery and ancient history.

Important:

Children must have a passport (copy of passport) to claim the discount. A sufficient number of toilet stops are planned during the trip. After arriving at the Pamukkale-Hierapolis car park, we leave the bus and take bathing equipment and cameras with us, etc. The roads in Hierapolis are uneven and the access to the theater is quite steep, so we recommend sturdy shoes or sandals with a firm sole. A walk on the limestone terraces is only allowed barefoot to avoid damaging the surface. You will be able to store your shoes in your shoeboxes before entering the limestone rocks or store them in your bags and take them with you. All safety precautions must be observed. The surface on the terraces is very slippery in places, especially where water is constantly flowing. In your free time, you can use a local car or bus to take you to the ancient necropolis for a fee. The Cleopatra pool area has public toilets, showers, and safety deposit boxes. The tour is arranged by a guide.
