Pamukkale

Explore the beauty of Pamukkale, Turkey’s natural and historical wonder.
Pamukkale is a land of wonders, where nature and history have created a unique and enchanting landscape. For millions of years, thermal springs have gushed from a cliff overlooking the plain of Cürüksu, leaving behind calcium carbonate and forming white terraces of travertine that look like cotton castles. Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is one of the world’s most remarkable natural legacies and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Join us on a Pamukkale tour and discover the natural and historical beauty of this region. You will visit the travertine terraces, where you can relax in the mineral-rich waters and enjoy the scenic views of the valley. You will also see the ancient city of Hierapolis, founded by the kings of Pergamon in the 2nd century B.C., and later a famous spa and religious center in the Roman and Byzantine periods. You will explore the ruins of temples, baths, theatres, necropolis, and churches, and learn about the rich history and culture of this city. You will also visit the Martyrium of St. Philip, where the apostle was martyred in 80 A.D., and see the octagonal structure built in his honor in the 5th century.
