Tour Overview

Itinerary

Pick-up from your hotel in the morning and departure for Pamukkale, one of Turkey's most extraordinary natural wonders (approx. 3-hour drive). Known as the “Cotton Castle,” Pamukkale is a breathtaking landscape formed by thermal springs rich in calcium bicarbonate, which have created dazzling white travertine terraces over thousands of years. From a distance, these terraces resemble a frozen waterfall cascading down the hillside.

Upon arrival, you will walk barefoot on the warm, mineral-rich terraces and experience the soothing, therapeutic mud pools, a unique sensation found nowhere else in the world.

The tour continues to Hierapolis, the ancient Greco-Roman city located just above the travertines. Founded in the 2nd century BC, Hierapolis later flourished under Roman rule and became a renowned healing center thanks to its thermal waters. Following the martyrdom of Saint Philip, the city gained religious importance and became a pilgrimage site during the early Christian period.

During your guided visit, you will explore the city's most impressive remains, including well-preserved Roman streets, the largest necropolis in Anatolia, and the magnificent ancient theater, all reflecting the former glory of this remarkable city.

At the end of the tour, we drive back to your hotel with unforgettable memories of Pamukkale and Hierapolis.
