From Selcuk/Kusadasi/Izmir: Pamukkale & Hierapolis Full-Day Tour

Explore the enchanting Pamukkale region on a guided tour from your hotel in Kusadasi/Selcuk, Izmir, or Pamukkale. Board your AC vehicle from your hotel and get acquainted with your friendly guide.

Explore the Ancient Hierapolis

On your arrival, savor a hearty lunch at a local restaurant in Pamukkale and begin your discovery of the city of Hierapolis, a UNESCO world heritage site. As mineral-rich water descended to the raised plateau, the city of Hierapolis was formed on the solidified layers of limestone over millennia. Visit the centuries-old Temple of Apollo, and explore the Necropolis, one of the biggest burial sites in Anatolia. Get a glimpse of the archaeological wonders of the Gate of Domitian and the Byzantium gate, the ancient city’s main street.

The Pristine Cotton Castle of Pamukkale

The wondrous natural hot water springs, formed on terraces, are rich in calcium and maintain a 35-degree celsius temperature all year round. You will be amazed by the glistening white formations of solidified calcium carbonate terraces, forming a white blanket as far as the eye goes. Rightfully called Pamukkale, which stands for “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, the travertine terraces look like delicate white steps out of a fairytale. If you wish to, you can enjoy a swim in the centuries-old Cleopatra’s Pool and take some time to admire the handicrafts made in the traditional Turkish styles.
