Description

Pick up Denizli Airport, Full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour, Free time for swimming in calcium pools, terraces, and Cleopatra's pool. After lunch Transfer to Antalya, Kemer, or Kaş.
Upon arrival at the airport of Denizli Cardak Airport, you will be transferred to Pamukkale, where you will meet your professional tour guide to begin your full-day tour.
You will visit the first destination of Karahayit to see the Red Spring Waters. After Karahayit, we will drive to Pamukkale and begin visiting the ancient city of Hierapolis. The highlights of Hierapolis are Necropolis, Roman Baths, Domitian Gate, Latrina, Oil Factory, Frontinious Street, Agora, Byzantium Gate, Triton Fountain, Cathedral, Apollon Temple, Plutonium, Theater, and Antique Pool. Then we will pass to Calcium Terraces and pools.
The Turkish name refers to the extraordinary surface of the snow-white cliffs, shaped over millennia by the accumulation of calcium deposited by mineral springs. Legend has it that the Cotton Castle formations are solidified cotton (the area’s principal crop) that giants left out to dry. Dripping slowly down a vast mountainside, mineral-rich water foams and collects in bowls that terrace the decline down the mountainside spilling over petrified cascades of stalactites into milky pools below. These saucer-shaped travertines (or terraces, as they’re also called) wind sideways down the powder-white mountain, providing a stunning contrast to the clear blue sky and green plain below. To protect the unique calcite surface, you are obliged to traverse the area barefoot. Although the terrace pools aren't particularly deep, you can get fully submerged if you want, don’t forget your towel! You shouldn’t leave the Pamukkale Tour without having a healing dip in the sacred fountain of Cleopatra’s pool.
Cleopatra’s Pool:
A swim in the effervescent waters of Cleopatra’s Pool should be at the top of any Turkey Travel Itinerary. Strewn about the bottom of the crystal-clear pool is an amazing collection of striated columns and capitals, a striking reminder of the pool's pedigree. Cleopatra's Pool has warm clear fizzy water that bubbles from the source of the spring, but these days has now been blocked off to prevent divers from disappearing into its hidden depths. With temperatures of 35C, you can bathe in the natural thermal mud and waters and enjoy the curative effects (both medicinal and beauty) of the water, which had previously benefited the ancient Greek and Roman peoples for centuries. This curative water with its Thermo mineral and magnesium, calcium, carbon dioxide, sulfide, and bicarbonate is suitable in many areas as a curative treatment.
At the end of the tour, around 17:00, you will be transferred to Antalya or Kas.
