Pamukkale Travertine Terraces

Pamukkale region is famous for its hot springs. The healing effects of the thermal water in this region are well known. The spring waters here contain many minerals, especially calcium. And in fact, the travertines here are calcium carbonate steps that have been formed over thousands of years. With Side Pamukkale Day Trip, you will walk on these travertine terraces, bathe in thermal waters and enjoy the magnificent views around you, just like the Romans did in ancient times.

Ancient Pool of Pamukkale

Pamukkale Ancient Pool, also known as Cleopatra Pool, is a thermal pool with a temperature of 36 degrees in all seasons of the year. According to a legend, Cleopatra, the great queen of Egypt, often bathed in this pool for healing purposes. In the 7th century BC, there was an earthquake in the middle of the city and the land collapsed; thermal waters filled this gap and this pool came to exist. It has been proven by many scientific studies that this pool has healing effects on diseases such as cardiovascular, skin, eye and nerve diseases. Swimming in the healing waters above the ancient ruins will be one of the most remarkable moments of your holiday.

Hierapolis Ancient City

The Ancient City of Hierapolis was built as a spa centre next to the Pamukkale travertines about 2000 years ago during the Pergamon Kingdom. Later, during the Roman period, the city was called the "sacred city" because there were many religious buildings in the city. Romans came to Hierapolis both to worship the gods in these temples and to benefit from the nearby thermal springs. Here, you will see the ruins of many temples, baths and accommodation buildings, and feel the magic of ancient times as you wander around.

Great tour with a great guide. Mr Mehmet was very friendly, informative and helpful. He kept us entertained and we’ve got lots of interesting information about the region from him throughout the tour. We had lovely time at this wonderful place and took tons of photos.
I can definitely recommend this trip to anyone staying in Side.

Pamukkkale is an incredible place and I highly recommend going there. It’s a long way from Side, but it worths every minute. They let you walk on the white steps barefoot. It can be slippery, so be careful there. Cleopatra’s pool is a nice and relaxing place, but a bit busy. The view from theatre in ancient city is amazing. The site is huge and lots to do but time is limited. We spent about 4 hours on the site but I wish we had more. A great trip overall, you won’t regret it.
