Admire the extraordinary scenery, take memorable photographs, and enjoy free time to explore this natural wonder at your own pace while experiencing one of Turkey's most iconic landmarks.
Continue to the ancient city of Hierapolis, founded as a thermal spa during the Hellenistic period and later expanded by the Romans. Wander through impressive ruins including the grand theater, ancient streets, monumental gates, baths, temples, and one of the largest necropolises in Anatolia. Throughout your visit, your guide provides fascinating insights into the city's rich history and archaeological importance.
During the day, enjoy a freshly prepared open buffet lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your exploration. Guests who wish can also visit the famous Cleopatra Antique Pool, where it is possible to swim among ancient marble columns for an additional fee.
