Pamukkale 2-day tour from Antalya is a cultural and nature tour with an overnight stay, designed for those who want to explore the breathtaking Pamukkale Travertines and the historic Hierapolis Ancient City. Pamukkale, located approximately 230 km from Antalya, is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Denizli, Turkey.
Pamukkale, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the oldest thermal cities in the world. The white travertine terraces, formed over thousands of years by calcium-rich thermal waters, attract thousands of visitors annually.
These natural pools and cascading limestone terraces are created as hot, mineral-rich water flows down the mountainside and cools, leaving behind pure white calcium deposits. Visitors can walk barefoot on the terraces, feel the warm water beneath their feet, and take in the stunning scenery.
Pamukkale's thermal waters are naturally heated to approximately 30°C and are believed to have healing properties for conditions related to the heart, joints, digestion, respiratory system, circulation, and skin. For centuries, Pamukkale has been a sought-after destination for beauty and wellness seekers.
Perched above the travertines lies the ancient city of Hierapolis, meaning "Holy City." Founded in the 2nd century BC by the King of Pergamon, this ancient city stretches over 2.7 km and offers a glimpse into Roman life. Key highlights include the Grand Roman Theatre, known for its remarkable acoustics and gladiator battles, Roman baths, city gates, and the Necropolis, one of the largest ancient cemeteries in the world.
Right next to the Pamukkale Travertines and Hierapolis Ancient City, Cleopatra’s Pool is a must-visit attraction. This natural thermal pool, formed after an earthquake caused ancient Roman columns to collapse into the water, offers a truly unique swimming experience.
Pamukkale 2-day tour from Antalya combines the historical charm of Hierapolis, the therapeutic waters of the Cleopatra Pool, and the surreal beauty of the Pamukkale Travertines. This tour promises an unforgettable experience for nature and history enthusiasts alike. Book your spot now and embark on this unique journey!
