  • The Ancient Hierapolis

Upon arrival in Pamukkale, enjoy lunch at a local eatery before delving into the city of Hierapolis. This UNESCO world heritage site was created over thousands of years by mineral-rich water solidifying limestone on raised plateaus. Discover historical sites such as the Temple of Apollo and explore one of Anatolia's largest burial grounds in the Necropolis. Don't miss visiting archaeological highlights like the Gate of Domitian, Byzantium gate, and the ancient city’s main street.

  • The Pristine Cotton Castle

Marvel at Pamukkale's stunning natural hot water springs on terraces rich in calcium. These formations maintain a steady 35-degree Celsius temperature throughout the year, creating glistening white layers of solidified calcium carbonate that stretch as far as you can see. Aptly named “Cotton Castle” in Turkish, these travertine steps resemble delicate fairytale landscapes. For those interested, take a refreshing swim at Cleopatra’s Pool and explore traditional Turkish handicrafts.
