Discover Pamukkale & Hierapolis: A Full-Day Tour from Antalya

Get ready to explore one of Turkey’s most iconic destinations with our Pamukkale Day Tour from Antalya. This unforgettable journey will take you through the heart of Anatolia, where history, nature, and culture come together in the most breathtaking way. From the cotton-white travertine terraces of Pamukkale to the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, this tour is an ideal blend of relaxation, education, and visual wonder.

What to Expect on Your Pamukkale Adventure

Your adventure begins early in the morning, around 04:30, with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel in Antalya. You’ll be accompanied by a professional English-speaking guide who will share fascinating facts and stories about the region’s rich heritage throughout the day.

After a short breakfast stop in Korkuteli to recharge, the journey continues toward Pamukkale. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the surreal sight of the white calcium terraces that cascade down the hillside like frozen waterfalls. Known as the “Cotton Castle,” Pamukkale is one of the most unique natural formations on Earth and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Explore the Ancient City of Hierapolis

Step back in time as you walk through the 2,000-year-old ruins of Hierapolis, an ancient Roman spa city built alongside Pamukkale’s healing thermal waters. Visit the impressive Roman theatre, the Temple of Apollo, necropolis, and ancient baths. You’ll learn how this area once served as a center of health, spirituality, and rejuvenation during Roman times.

Swim Like Royalty in Cleopatra’s Pool

One of the highlights of your visit will be the chance to swim in the legendary Cleopatra Pool — a warm, mineral-rich thermal pool filled with ancient marble columns submerged beneath its surface. Floating over centuries-old ruins is an experience you won’t forget.

Free Time & Local Culture

Enjoy free time to soak in the views, take incredible photographs, and explore the travertines at your own pace. There will also be an opportunity to visit local workshops where you can shop for traditional souvenirs and handicrafts — a great way to support local artisans and bring a piece of Pamukkale home with you.

Return Journey

Around 15:00, you’ll begin the return trip to Antalya. Expect to be back at your hotel by 20:30, bringing with you lasting memories of natural beauty, ancient history, and the spirit of Anatolia.
