About This Activity

A scenic journey from Kemer to Pamukkale awaits, passing through the picturesque landscapes of Northern Turkey and the Rif Mountains. Upon arrival, you’ll be immediately struck by the sight of Pamukkale’s iconic white travertine terraces. Formed by the mineral-rich waters of the hot springs, these terraces have been naturally created over thousands of years and offer a visually stunning and unique landscape.

Once in Pamukkale, the tour provides ample time to enjoy the natural hot spring pools, whose warm waters are said to have healing properties. You can relax in the pools, experiencing the therapeutic benefits while surrounded by the impressive beauty of the terraces. This tranquil experience is one of the highlights of the tour and is a perfect way to unwind in a remarkable natural setting.

After enjoying the pools, you’ll explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, an ancient city that flourished due to the region's hot springs. Visit the Roman Theater, which offers fantastic views over Pamukkale. Stroll through the Necropolis (ancient cemetery), and see the well-preserved Temple of Apollo. As you walk through the ancient streets, you’ll gain insight into the history of this fascinating site, which dates back to Roman times.

The tour also includes a visit to the Hierapolis Museum, located within the Hierapolis ruins. Here, you’ll find artifacts from the ancient city that reveal more about the civilization that thrived in the region. Following your exploration of the ruins, enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch, which is included in the tour, providing an authentic taste of Turkish cuisine.

After lunch, there will be some free time to relax and enjoy the beauty of Pamukkale before making the return journey to Kemer. During the drive back, take in the scenic views and reflect on the day’s experiences. From the stunning thermal pools to the ancient ruins, this tour offers a perfect combination of natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The tour was very well organized. Lunch was provided on the way back to the hotel, which was a great addition. During the journey there and back, we had a couple of stops where we could use the restroom, have breakfast, and do some shopping. This made the long drive much more comfortable. The bus driver was excellent, and no one experienced headaches or discomfort from the ride. Our guide did a great job sharing information about the history of the site and giving clear instructions on how to make the most of our visit and be on time for the meeting points. He communicated well and took good care of everyone. I’m very happy with this experience it was definitely worth the price I paid.

Thanks to the entire organizing team for the excursion. Pamukkale is definitely a place everyone should visit at least once. The long journey can be tiring, but in the end, the beauty of the area makes up for the fatigue and any inconvenience. Be sure to bring swimwear if you want to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool, as well as a towel this isn’t often mentioned, but it’s essential. You get about three hours to explore Pamukkale, which includes visiting the ancient theater, the travertines, the museum, walking around the site, and swimming in the pool. This amount of time is sufficient if you manage it well.

The excursion was well organized, and our guide was very kind to us. I was truly impressed by Pamukkale mountain, Cleopatra’s Pool, and the ancient city of Hierapolis. The time flew by in a wonderful and engaging atmosphere those 18 hours felt like just two. I hope to visit these places again someday. Many thanks for the fantastic excursion!
