Hotel Pick-Up & Scenic Drive

Begin your day with a comfortable morning pick-up from your Antalya hotel.
Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive through the Taurus Mountains and Turkish countryside, passing charming villages and lush farmlands along the way.
Your guide will share stories about the region’s history and culture as you approach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pamukkale.

Explore the Ancient City of Hierapolis

Upon arrival, step back in time at Hierapolis, an ancient Greco-Roman city founded in the 2nd century BC.
Once a healing center and spa resort for Roman elites, Hierapolis features remarkably preserved ruins that testify to its historical significance.

Your guided walking tour will include:

• The Necropolis – The largest ancient cemetery in Anatolia with over 1,200 limestone tombs.

• The Roman Baths – Once used by visitors seeking wellness in mineral-rich waters.

• The Temple of Apollo – Dedicated to the god of the sun and healing.

• Theater of Hierapolis – A grand amphitheater with capacity for 15,000 spectators, boasting stunning carvings and city views.

As you explore, imagine the grandeur of this city that once thrived as a cultural and spiritual hub.

Pamukkale Travertine Terraces

Next, marvel at the surreal beauty of Pamukkale, meaning Cotton Castle in Turkish.
The snow-white terraces, formed by thermal spring waters rich in calcium, cascade down the hillside like frozen waterfalls.
Take off your shoes and walk barefoot along the warm, mineral-rich pools while enjoying panoramic views of the valley below.

These naturally formed travertines have been used as thermal baths since ancient times and are believed to have healing properties for skin, heart, and circulation.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity and a moment of total serenity in one of nature’s most stunning creations.

Cleopatra’s Sacred Pool (Optional Swim)

Within the Hierapolis complex, you’ll also find Cleopatra’s Pool, a naturally heated spring filled with ancient Roman columns submerged under crystal-clear waters.

Legend has it that Cleopatra herself bathed here, believing in the restorative powers of the mineral-rich water.
Take a rejuvenating swim (optional, with a small entrance fee) and float among the ruins of history — a truly unforgettable experience.

Lunch at a Local Restaurant

After your exploration, enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch at a local restaurant.
Feast on authentic Mediterranean dishes — from grilled meats and mezes to fresh vegetables and desserts — all prepared with locally sourced ingredients.

Return to Antalya

Following your visit, relax during the scenic drive back to Antalya.
Your driver will drop you off at your hotel, leaving you with lasting memories of one of Turkey’s most enchanting destinations.
