Description
Explore the preferred vacation spot of the Empire's elite on this enriching day trip to Hierapolis and Pamukkale. Experience a leisurely walk through the stunning cotton castle that Pamukkale is renowned for.
Hierapolis & Pamukkale Day Trip
Upon collection from your accommodation, we'll head to your selected airport to catch a morning flight to Denizli, lasting approximately 70 minutes. This city, known for its industrial landscape, is beautifully nestled within a valley.
Arriving in Denizli, we'll climb aboard a transport vehicle that will convey us to the remarkable Hierapolis ruins. Here, you can explore the remnants of a once-thriving city popular among the Roman Empire's elite during the summer months. This journey will take us past thermal baths, ancient theatres, and burial sites. You might ponder what led to the decline of this magnificent settlement—join us to uncover its story!
Next, we will wander through Pamukkale, or the cotton castle, which stands at an impressive height of 160 meters. The captivating white formations that adorn its surface evoke images of fresh snow. You may even indulge in the experience of relaxing in the Ancient Pool (please note this is at an additional cost).
Prior to our departure for the airport, we will enjoy a replenishing buffet meal.
Following our adventure through Hierapolis and Pamukkale, we'll make our way back to Denizli airport before returning you to your hotel.
