Cleopatra Pools - Above Pamukkale’s white travertine pools, the Antique Pool awaits. Fed by the same thermal springs, it’s where Cleopatra once bathed.

Pamukkale Thermal Pools - Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is famed for its striking white calcium cascades and hot springs, making it one of Turkey’s top Instagram-worthy destinations. The name ‘Pamukkale’ translates to ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish. These healing hot springs once served as a pagan cult center in ancient times. The terraces, shaped by mineral-rich running water, continue to evolve over thousands of years. Today, Pamukkale’s pristine beauty remains well-preserved. Immerse yourself in the soothing hot springs, unwind, and capture stunning photos of this natural wonder.
