Tour Overview

Pick up from your hotel and drive to Pamukkale. Pamukkale stands for ‘’Cotton Castle’’ in Turkish. There are 17 distinct thermal springs at Pamukkale with water temperatures between 35-100-C. Over thousands of years, hot spring water has created ‘cotton looking’ white calcium terraces known as travertine which is one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

Once known as Hierapolis, the site offers a thermal pool in which you can swim with ancient artifacts.

It is scientifically proven that the water has curing properties for certain diseases such as rheumatism, asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases etc.

It is made of stone and looks very small and humble. Outside the house is a “wishing wall” which pilgrim have used by tying their personal intentions on paper or fabric. A water source is also located nearby, believed to have miraculous powers of healing. The shrine was visited by several popes.

Once upon a time princess Cleopatra herself used to bathe in these healing springs to regain her beauty and today such recreation is available to any visitor. The pool provides today's visitors a rare opportunity to swim with antiquities.

The largest ancient cemetery in Asia Minor called necropolis, the Domitian Road and gate, Plutonium, a fountain, a theater, Hierapolis Museum are other attractions in the city. The ancient site has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988.
