Pamukkale

About the destination

White travertine terraces beside the ancient city of Hierapolis.

Pamukkale’s mineral-rich waters have formed striking white terraces on the hillside. The adjoining ruins of Hierapolis connect this landscape with the history of an ancient spa city.

Explore the archaeological area, including its theatre and necropolis, alongside designated visitor routes through the travertines. Nearby Denizli and Laodicea can be considered when planning a longer stay.
