Highlights of Private Pamukkale Tour from Fethiye
- Hierapolis Ancient City
- Cleopatra's Pool
- The Cotton Castles of Pamukkale
Pamukkale, located in Turkey's Denizli Province, is a natural wonder known for its excellent white terraces and ancient ruins. The name "Pamukkale," which translates to "Cotton Castle" in Turkish, perfectly captures the unique, fluffy appearance of its calcium-rich formations created by flowing thermal waters.
Pamukkale is a popular spot that has drawn visitors for ages, even back in Roman times when people came to enjoy its hot springs. Nearby, you'll find the ancient city of Hierapolis, packed with amazing ruins like a big Roman theater, a vast cemetery full of tombs, the Temple of Apollo, and the famous Cleopatra's Pool. This thermal pool is fabulous because you can see underwater columns and pieces of ruins that are believed to have sunk during an earthquake. It's a unique mix of history and relaxation.
Both Pamukkale and Hierapolis are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, known for their stunning scenery and cultural importance. While visiting, you can walk barefoot along the soft, white terraces (to help preserve them), soak in the healing waters, and explore the captivating remnants of Hierapolis.
Hierapolis began as a thermal spa in the 2nd century BCE and flourished under Roman rule, becoming a hub for culture and religion. You can see glimpses of ancient life when you visit the amazing ruins of Hierapolis Ancient City. With hot springs and the rich history of the ruins, Pamukkale and Hierapolis offer a truly memorable experience for visitors.
