Full description

Visit Pamukkale and Hierapolis on a 7-hour guided tour. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot springs and take in the unique white limestone terraces, known as travertines. The ancients believed that Hierapolis, or Sacred City, was founded by the god Apollo. It was famed for its hot springs, whose vapors were associated with Pluto, the god of the underworld. The hot springs were popular in Roman times because of their therapeutic powers. Visit the Domitian Gate, the colonnaded street and the cathedral. Explore the Pamukkale Museum and marvel at the limestone terraces of Pamukkale. The healing powers of the hot springs led to the establishment of a spa resort.

fantastic place to visit

Not great value, best go yourself early morning, beat crowds and heat

First place we went was tired and tatty, time wasted after waiting til 9.40 when website said pick-up was between 8-9am. Guide apologised tho and was pleasant tho' not very efficient. Cleopatra pools were small and crowded and altho website says it's included there is a 50lira surcharge. We had an hour freetime to swim or see other ruins...other people were walking in some pools but we weren't given that chance... Also an 8lira extra charge for museum, which we didn't mi d but had no time for after deciding not to swim...so walked to the main ruins then had to go d rest of group and guide. Also the Museum shop was grossly overpriced The lunch was good but by 1.30 we were so hot and hungry. Onyx factory shop tour was again dull and overpriced. Whole day needs re-scheduling to cut out first stop, therefore leave more time to see Museum. Guides need to provide water as done on other tours...Museum included in ticket price.
