What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pamukkale Thermal Pools, Pamukkale Turkiye
If you are coming to Turkey then be sure to travel to Pamukkale. The area of Pamukkale can be found in western Turkey and is famously known for its beautiful mineral-enriched thermal waters that cascade down the snowy white travertine terraces. Also in Pamukkale, you can explore the ancient city of Hierapolis which was once known as a Roman spa city for the rich back during the time 190 BC. Your time spent in Pamukkale will surely be a day to remember!
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Cleopatra Pools, Pamukkale Turkiye
Another exciting attraction worth seeing in Pamukkale's thermal pools is the Cleopatra Pool, also known as the Cleopatra Antique Pool.
This ancient pool is said to be a tribute to Cleopatra by Marc Antony, with several columns and structures rising above the once warm, flowing waters. Unfortunately, a major earthquake in the 7th century destroyed these once magnificent structures and most of the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. However, the pool has been rebuilt and it is now possible to swim in this ancient pool.
There is an extra cost to visit this pool which is around 8 Euros (it changes constantly). As you pass the Pamukalle museums, you will find them in the immediate vicinity of the travertines.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Hierapolis & Pamukkale, Pamukkale 20280 Turkiye
Historians suggest that Hierapolis was at its peak, a thriving metropolis housing over 100, 000 people. As you might expect, exploring the ruins of Hierapolis can take quite a while.
However, if you’re short on time, I suggest checking out the following historical sites.
Theatre – a must (more info below)
Main street – 1, 500 meter long street with a colossal gate at the end (Frontinus Gate)
Hierapolis Necropolis – is among the best-preserved necropolis in Turkey, with 1, 200 limestone and marble tombs.
Temple of Apollo – small Hellenistic temple from the 3rd century AD dedicated to the principal deity of the city
Nymphaeum – located near the Apollo Temple, a 2nd-AD.century fountain.
Duration: 4 hours
