Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Cleopatra Pools, Pamukkale Turkiye

There are many more places to explore, of course, but it seems to us that we had one of the most extraordinary swimming experiences in the world. How many other places in 23 centuries of history can there be swimming in the world? (If there is any, it was forbidden to swim in it in this period and the only thing that got wet in its waters is wish money?

This is the Ancient Pool, aka Cleopatra Pool, in the city of Hierapolis from the 2nd century BC. Under the protection of UNESCO, the site in the World Cultural Heritage List is located in the Hierapolis Ancient City, in the area just above Pamukkale Travertines. We think it is a great experience to experience such a precious legacy in such a special way. By the way, we've deleted this from our list of things to do before you die!



Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Pamukkale Thermal Pools, Pamukkale Turkiye

We visit the natural pools of Pamukkale with our guide. The minarets in the water here change the colors on the rock surface. Therefore, everywhere is as white as cotton. And water has many benefits for the human body.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Hierapolis & Pamukkale, Pamukkale 20280 Turkiye

The ancient city of Hierapolis has been well preserved and has survived to the present day. The Roman Bath, which we can definitely say that it was visited very often when it was a thermal center, is used as an archeology museum today. Here you can see the statues and other ruins unearthed in the ancient city excavations in Hierapolis and its surroundings. Buildings such as the ancient theatre, temples, monumental fountains, tombs, agora and gymnasium are in such a good condition that you feel like you are in the city of 2,000 years ago. Especially the stories told about Ploutonium, which was believed to be the entrance to hell in the Roman Period, will attract your attention.

Hierapolis is also a holy settlement in terms of Christianity. The most important reason for this sanctity is that Phillippus, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, was killed here and his grave is here. Martyrium, which was built by palace architects in the 5th century and where the saint's tomb is located, is one .

Great tour, tour guide and driver! Our tour guide, Bekir, was knowledgeable and shared interesting bits of history and facts along the way. You get more out of the tour if you ask him questions. I really appreciated his more flexible approach to the tour - he managed to fit in optional activities like paragliding, hot air balloon, onyx factory/store, textile outlet and winery for those who were interested. Of course this meant that those who went for the last 2 activities had to sacrifice a little bit of time at Pamukkale and Hierapolis itself. The paragliding and hot air balloon were done before lunch. Those who weren’t interested did a tour of the nearby town and lake. If you’re interested in the hot air balloon, you’ll need to let the company know when you book. This is a separate cost. The paragliding was arranged on the day itself and cost about €65 per person (prices will vary based on season and the economy); you can choose to purchase the GoPro video and photos for an additional €40 (do note you can take your own). I would also recommend this cos you get an amazing aerial view of Hierapolis. Anyway, back to Bekir, he looked after us really well and made sure everyone enjoyed the trip (imo). Leo, our driver, also shared some interesting anecdotes from his experience with the area. As for Pamukkale itself, it was a little less spectacular than I imagined but still worth the trip. I assume you’d have a better chance of getting photos with fewer background people if you stayed in Denizli itself and headed out really early. Most of the tour buses from Antalya would reach there around 10/11am and leave around 4/5pm. I would 100% recommend a dip in Cleopatra’s pool (in low season) which is filled with the warm thermal waters. If you’re a little icky about algae tho, a warning, there is algae. No towels provided or available for rental so you need to bring your own, along with swimwear. They should really start a towel rental business. Overall, would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Bekir and Leo for making it such an enjoyable experience.

I booked with Bookfromlocals Antalya, originally went with them in Feb 23 then again march 24. Great trip and really helpful tour guides who look after you and give you great history of the visiting place and of Turkey in general. Thermal pools beautiful and can highly recommend the relaxing cleopatras pool. I almost had the whole pool to myself because it wasn’t busy at the time, very lovely experience.

A thoroughly enjoyable day trip to Hierapolis-Pamukkale. Well organised, on time, and with a great guide and driver. Mehmet was a very knowledgable guide who really enjoyed passing on the story of Hierapolis to his group., Quite a drive up from Antalya, but a decent mini bus with plenty of space allowed people to relax. A breakfast break and then lunch just prior to exploring the sites ensured all in good spirits. Fascinating site, with a lot to see, so we did hurry a bit. Probably could spend many hours looking round, but driven the timing of the shuttle. You have to way up looking around the ruins for longer and a shorter time exploring the Pamukkale a series of petrified waterfalls and a series of terraced basins. To be honest Mehmet seemed to have it just right. All in all a great day
