Description
Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pamukkale, and the nearby Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis on a full-day trip from Bodrum. See the stunning travertine rock terraces, ancient ruins, and hot spring baths on a day tour filled with history and natural beauty.
Your day trip to Pamukkale begins with pickup from your hotel in Bodrum. Drive to Pamukkale to meet your guide, with a travel time of around 3.5 hours in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Pamukkale which means cotton castle is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site made up of dazzling white travertine rock terraces that appear to flow down 200-meter cliffs. From a distance, the travertine terraces look like snowy cliffs or frozen waterfalls but are actually mineral deposits from the hot springs in Pamukkale.
Walk around these fascinating rocks and see the naturally formed bathing pools while learning about their geology from your guide. See the white travertine terraces contrasting with the brown mountains in the distance.
Enjoy some free time to explore the pools at your own leisure. Bring your bathing suit for a dip in Cleopatra's Pools, and relax in the warm natural springs that are separated by ancient columns. An additional entry fee is payable direct to bathe in the pools.
Later, join your guide for a leisurely walk up to Hierapolis, an ancient Greco-Roman city with crumbling ruins and geothermic bathing pools. Learn about the Necropolis (Roman burial ground), the vast Roman theater that was capable of seating more than 12,000 people, and St Philippe Martyrion (also known as the Basilica of St Philippe).
At the end of the tour, your driver will pick you up and travel back to Bodrum to be dropped off at your hotel.
