About this experience
Pamukkale, which means "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, is a natural wonder located in Denizli province in southwestern Turkey. It is famous for its white travertine terraces and thermal pools, which are formed by the calcium-rich mineral water that flows from the hot springs.
A private tour of Pamukkale from Kusadasi or Selcuk hotels typically takes around 8-10 hours, and includes transportation, an English-speaking tour guide, and entrance fees to the Pamukkale Hierapolis Archaeological Site and Travertine Terraces.
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the Hellenistic period, and learn about its fascinating history and culture. You will also have time to relax and swim in the thermal pools, which are believed to have healing properties.
