Additional Information
Known as the ‘Holy City’, Hierapolis is a historical city of the Greco-Roman era nestled in Phrygia on thermal springs, situated in the southwest region of Anatolia. Its remnants stand side by side with contemporary Pamukkale. Hierapolis enjoys the status of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since the 2nd Century B.C.E., its thermal springs served as a wellness spa where people sought relief for their health conditions, often spending their last days or passing away here. Some notable attractions include its expansive necropolis brimming with sarcophagi, the main boulevard featuring gates and latrines, the cathedral, the theatre, and the tomb of St. Philips. The thermal springs trigger waterfalls, popularly referred to as the Cotton Castle. Despite the journey from Antalya requiring a bit of an early start, the unique experience is well worth it. The tour highlights delve into exploring Hierapolis and Pamukkale while being part of a small group under a guide, osmosis in the mineral-infused thermal waters of the Kleopatra Pool, and includes a lunch treat and admission to Pamukkale sites.

Well planned - The Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour from Antalya was an exceptional experience. The journey was well-organized, offering stunning views of the travertine terraces and insightful exploration of Hierapolis' ruins. Our guide was knowledgeable, and the included lunch was delicious. Highly recommended for history and nature enthusiasts alike. Thanks to U can Travel for a memorable excursion.

Top Super 😀 - We are very satisfied. Everything was planned to the second. The small bus meant a smaller group. A new, air-conditioned bus. We send our warmest regards to the guide. We were delighted. Simply a super friendly guide. The buffet lunch was fantastic, a very charming place. Thanks to the guide, we discovered spots in Pamukkale without crowds, perfect for beautiful photos. Thank you very much, greetings to Turkey from Poland Radecki

Pamukkale Paradise - We are not exaggerating if we say that we are completely satisfied, first of all, we would like to thank the tour company for their smiling face and necessary attention. We were a little suspicious at first, but after the tour we questioned why we thought so much, the guide, the driver, the food and most importantly the natural pools were really nice. See you on our next vacation, thanks for everything.

A wonderful day. - The process took place as described, guide Mehmet tried to stick to the schedule, spoke perfect English, otherwise translated online. 3 options were suggested as to how the time could best be used. He is good informed + helpful.

Not worth the money. Read my review to know why’d - If you are not staying in Antalya but staying in Pamukkale or in Denzili DONOT take this trip as you will be paying more than if you book a trip locally.
Although the trip start time says 7:30 am that is for people living in Antalya.
Pamukkale by itself is a beautiful place dotted with the ancient ruins of Hieropolis. Our tour guide Toylan was a nice person with very little to offer in terms of explaining the history of the place as a guide. He encouraged us to explore the amphiteatre on our own as it was a bit of a uphill walk. The trip itself presented with many oppurtunities of buying souveniers such as precious stones outlet and textile store which took up time in seeing and spending more time in the waters of Pamukkale.

Overeated tour, it was good to explore a new place, but we felt lack of information in such a rich environment. - In my opinion the Pamukkale tours are overrated for what you do and what it’s provided by the company. The place of Hierapolis and Pamukkale it’s enormous and to be able to explore most of it you need at least 4 hours. At the beginning of the tour we were provided with some important information but not all vital information about the place. Then you are exploring by yourself. There is so much history that is important to have the guide explaining all the places and ruines.
