About this activity
Explore Turkey's most otherworldly natural wonder and a UNESCO-listed archaeological site in a single day from Antalya. This excursion combines Pamukkale's brilliant white mineral terraces—sculpted over millennia by thermal waters—with the ancient ruins of Hierapolis perched on the plateau above.
Visit Pamukkale hot springs that contain travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. Then visit the ancient city of Hierapolis.
Highlights
- ✓Walk across Pamukkale's iconic white travertine terraces filled with warm mineral pools
- ✓Explore Hierapolis, a 2,000-year-old Greco-Roman city with temples, theatres, and tombs
- ✓Swim in natural hot springs rich in calcium and minerals
- ✓Visit the sacred Pool of Cleopatra (Pamukkale's natural spa area)
- ✓See panoramic views across the Denizli valley from the plateau
Insider tips
- ★Wear water shoes or sandals with grip—the white terraces are slippery when wet and protect your feet from sharp mineral deposits
- ★Visit early morning to avoid crowds and enjoy softer light for photography
- ★Bring a towel and change of clothes if you plan to swim in the pools; the mineral water is warm but can stain regular fabrics
- ★The uphill walk from terraces to Hierapolis is moderate; wear comfortable shoes and bring water
