- The first stop on the Pamukkale tour will be Hierapolis Ancient City. This famous ancient city in the region is dated to BC. The city is spread over a very large area and many structures are rugged enough to be observed. Some of the famous buildings in this ancient city are Necropolis, Frontinius Street, Frontinius Gate, Latrina, Northern Byzantine Gate, Bath and Basilica, Fountain of the Tritons and the Temple of Apollon.
- Secondly, we will visit Pamukkale Travertines. Travertines are a heritage of natural history. Covering an area of 2800 meters in total, this white structure also contains healing water. With its natural beauty, Pamukkale will blow your mind. All of Pamukkale Travertines are rich in many minerals. Calcium, for example, is rich in mineral-laden waters. There are also spa facilities in the area.
- If you want to explore the region together with your loved ones, the tour organization gives you time for this. You can have pleasant and peaceful moments with free time for a while before returning.
- There are some pools in your free time. For example, the Cleopatra Pool, which is among the travertines of Pamukkale, is one of them. You can swim in this clean and healthy water. (Entrance to the pool is your own expense.)

The trip was really worthwhile considering the long drive from Izmir via Selcuk. The hot springs from the mountains create the breathtaking formation of Calcium carbonate and you can swing in these terraces. Our tour guide Manuel was really nice and friendly, she showed us around the places and gave some historical details about the places. After all pieces of information, We had some free time to explore the place on our own. In case you want to take a dip in the antique Cleopatra thermal pool don’t forget to bring your swimsuit with you.

A long day trip but both places were great in Pamukkale town. The beauty of the calcium white terraces, and the history of Hierapolis antique city. Lots of people were at Pamukkale on our day trip. Mainly to see the Pamukkale white terraces, swim and walk on the terraces, not a lot of water on terraces but beautiful just the same. My highlight was the tour is Hierapolis’s ruins, so many ruins of that ancient place. It was a very hot day and at times hard walking around, but worth it to see so much. Tour guides explain all the history of Pamukkale and Hierapolis. We had free time to explore both places. A tour worth the money you paid.

This beyond expectations service… Pamukkale day tour is definitely the highlight of this tour and way above my expectations. The ancient ruins and history of Hierapolis and calcium terraces thermal of Pamukkale were brought to life again for us by our excellent tour guide Sevim who was informative, helpful, patient, and funny as well. Everyone in the day tour group had an excellent time, lots of chances for taking photos and questions during the trip. The lunch was excellent and included in the tour price. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in Pamukkale, Izmir Kusadasi, Antalya, or the Selcuk area.

A must-see in Turkey! My wife and I decided to take a full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis ruins daily tour from Izmir. The travel coach journey was very nice and air-conditioned, although it was around 4/4,5 hours long from Izmir via Selcuk. We stopped off for a buffet lunch in Pamukkale town which was great before heading to the pools. The day tour was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed this experience. that is a must-see in Turkey and we urge everyone to visit if you are staying in Turkey. We had locally guided daily trips through the ancient antique city of Hierapolis which included seeing the Roman baths, all the way to the snow-white limestone thermal pools which is the main attraction surrounding the mountains. We had free time and were allowed to wander around taking pictures. Also, we were then allowed to swim in the Cleopatra antique pool which was on thermal spring water. There was an additional charge to swim in the pools (own expense) but wasn’t a lot and overall a really lovely experience. We also had our pictures taken in the white travertine pools which was a lovely memory. There are cafes where you can grab a bite or a drink around the antique pool. Overall, that was a great experience and a must-see in Turkey. we believe it is known as the 8th wonder of the world and pictures don’t do it justice…

Day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis from Izmir city! ToursCE.com and their team were great. All of them were excellent service and very polite. We even forgot the phone and bag on the bus at the end of the day and the driver came back for us after a long day of driving. The day tour guide was kind, knowledgeable, and very professional. The day trip was really worth considering the long drive from Izmir. the hot springs from the mountains create the breathtaking formation of Calcium Carbonate. the guide showed us around the places and gave some historical details about the place. After that, we had some free time to see around the place by own. In case if you want to take a dip in the thermal pool don’t forget to bring your swimsuit with you. Pamukkale and Hierapolis is an amazing place to see in Turkey.
