Pamukkale & Hierapolis: Private Tour of Turkey's Travertines
Pamukkale is one of Turkey’s most distinctive natural landscapes, shaped over thousands of years by mineral-rich thermal waters flowing across its white travertine terraces. Above the terraces lies Hierapolis, an ancient city founded in the Hellenistic period and later developed into an important Roman thermal centre.
This private tour combines Pamukkale’s travertines with the archaeological remains of Hierapolis, including its theatre, monumental streets, ancient baths and extensive necropolis. Together, the two sites form the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hierapolis-Pamukkale.
