Description
Discover the stunning white travertines of Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis on a guided tour from Alanya. Enjoy a relaxing swim in the Cleopatra Antique Pool and savor a delicious lunch.
Embark on a captivating journey from Alanya to the world-famous white terraces of Pamukkale. Known as the "Cotton Castle," this natural wonder consists of dazzling white travertines formed by calcium-rich thermal waters flowing down the mountainside.
Upon arrival, have plenty of time to walk along the designated paths of the travertines, feel the warm mineral water beneath your feet, and capture stunning photos of the terraces that look like frozen waterfalls. The healing properties of these thermal springs have been cherished since ancient times, offering a truly unique and refreshing experience for every traveler.
Right next to the white terraces lies the majestic ancient city of Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your professional guide will take you on a journey through history as you explore the well-preserved ruins of this once-thriving Roman spa city.
See the grand Necropolis, one of the largest ancient graveyards in Anatolia, the monumental Gate of Domitian, and the incredibly intact Roman theater which once held thousands of spectators. Learning about the architecture, culture, and daily life of the ancient citizens adds a deep layer of historical context to the natural beauty surrounding you.
For an additional treat, visit the famous Cleopatra Antique Pool, where you can swim among authentic fallen Roman columns. Legend has it that the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra herself once bathed in these crystal-clear, warm waters. The pool is fed by the same mineral-rich springs that created the travertines, providing a therapeutic and relaxing swim in a setting that feels like a step back in time. It is a perfect way to rejuvenate your body and mind while being surrounded by centuries-old history.
Enjoy a full meal package, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner at local restaurants to keep you energized throughout the 19-hour journey. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned bus, with scenic breaks along the way to ensure a smooth transition from the Mediterranean coast to the heart of the Aegean region. From the professional guidance to the seamless transportation, every detail is handled so you can focus entirely on soaking in the magic and mystery of Pamukkale and Hierapolis.
