After a scenic 3-hour journey, you’ll arrive at Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Denizli, Turkey. Renowned for its dazzling white travertine terraces created over centuries by calcium-rich thermal waters, Pamukkale is aptly named the "Cotton Castle." This natural wonder is uniquely paired with the ancient city of Hierapolis, a Greco-Roman spa town founded in the 2nd century BC.

Stroll through Hierapolis to discover its thermal pools, a well-preserved theater, and historic temples, all of which reflect its significance as a center of healing and culture. Pamukkale and Hierapolis together offer an unforgettable combination of breathtaking landscapes and rich historical heritage, making them a must-visit destination for travelers seeking both natural beauty and a glimpse into ancient civilizations.

The Cleopatra Pool, nestled within the ancient city of Hierapolis, offers a magical blend of history and natural beauty. Surrounded by ancient ruins, this thermal pool invites visitors to immerse themselves in its warm, mineral-rich waters. While entry to the pool area is free, a small fee is required to swim—a fee well worth the unforgettable experience.

Legend whispers that Cleopatra herself may have visited Hierapolis, adding an air of mystery to the site. As you wade through the crystal-clear waters, you’ll encounter submerged ancient columns, remnants of the Roman temple that once stood here. Whether drawn by its healing properties or its historical charm, the Cleopatra Pool promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
