Hierapolis & Pamukkale are gorgeous! The pick-up at our hotel was 1 hour late compared to what we had been told, waiting from 5:15 am to 6:15 am for nothing is slowing down! As for the rest, it was just a negative point for the visit to Onyx and the leather store, but in general; very nice day!

The site is totally worth to visit: I don't think there is anywhere in the world that looks like the "cotton castle", and the archaeological site of hierapolis is so well preseved!! However the place is immense, hot and crowded with turists. Ideally it would be better if you go in a cold season (the pools would be full of water and the lack of shades in the ruins wouldn't bother you), stay in pamuukkale over night, visit the pools early morning (the dawn there must be amazing), and take the whole day to visit the ancient city. What I'm saying that this excursion is better than nothing; however it takes almost 4 hour drive from bodrum and you only stay there 3hrs that are NOT enough. You feel rushed the whole time. Moreover the lunch wasn't the best and the stops at the leather and stones industries were interesting but not what you paid for considering the time restraint. However very comfy coach and nice guide. They will leave you to visit the site alone at your own pace.

Expect a great experience. Certainly very short and very energy-intensive, you have for everything and for everything 2h30 top time to visit the remains - Cleopatra's swimming pool if you opt for this option at around 8€ extra which I recommend but be careful of the rocks and especially pamukkale with its cotton fields!! The French guides speak French and are friendly. A very long trip there and back - if you're lucky enough that your bus doesn't break down, which is almost a habit in Turkey :) Count on a 5-hour outward journey and the same for the return. The only thing we regret is the short time spent on site but no other choice. I recommend !!
