If you're seeking a one-day escape from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, why not consider a day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis? This excursion offers a refreshing break from the busy traffic, crowded streets, and museums of Istanbul. You can choose between a private tour or a regular group tour, though we highly recommend opting for the private tour. With a private tour, you'll benefit from superior vehicle quality, knowledgeable guides, flexible timing, and the opportunity to see additional sites.

Pamukkale, also known as "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, spans an area of 2 kilometers and is renowned for its white travertine terraces formed from calcium deposits. During your tour, you'll visit the iconic Pamukkale Travertines, the ancient city of Hierapolis, Cleopatra’s Pool, and the Grand Theater—all situated within a 2 km radius. You can walk on the Pamukkale Travertines and bathe in the warm calcium-rich pools with a year-round water temperature of 35°C.

Adjacent to these stunning terraces stands the 2,300-year-old ancient city of Hierapolis, known for its impressive structures such as the Roman Bath, Theatre, Main Street, and Necropolis (cemetery).

Remember, both Pamukkale and Hierapolis are UNESCO World Heritage sites. No trip to Pamukkale is complete without a swim in Cleopatra's Pool, reputedly one of the oldest swimming pools in the world at 2,300 years old. Legend has it that Cleopatra herself swam in this pool, named in her honor, where you can swim among ancient columns.
