Your comprehensive day trip sets off in the wee hours of the morning as we collect you from your accommodation and commence our journey to Pamukkale. Following a time-out for lunch, you’ll begin exploring the stunningly snowy, terraced crags of this enchanting Cotton Palace.
The surreal landscape was formed by the deposition of calcite from the waters that arise from a spring situated on a cliff standing 200 meters high overseeing the plain. Be awed by the mineral-infused forests, petrified cascades, and the terraced pools shaped by these waters.
Historically, in the latter part of the 2nd century B.C., the royalty of Pergamon established the thermal spring of Hierapolis. You can witness the remnants of baths, shrines, and other Grecian relics at the site. These temples used to serve as key commercial hubs for ancient Hierapolis.
Expect to see the Roman amphitheater, the shrine of Apollo, Roman baths, water fountains, and the marketplace. After the excursion, you’ll get the opportunity to take a dip in the thermal pools. There’s an extra option too, for an additional charge, you can choose to swim in the famed Cleopatra’s Pool.
