Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up from Bodrum. We'll embark on a picturesque 1.5-hour drive to Muğla for a comfort break at a local restaurant. From there, a comfortable 2-hour bus ride, accompanied by a professional guide sharing insights about Pamukkale, will take us to our destination.
Upon arrival, we'll dive into history at the magnificent ruins of Hierapolis. This ancient city, built on hot springs, reveals remains of baths, temples, and Greek monuments like the Theatre and the Temple of Apollo, offering a fascinating glimpse into a grand ancient empire.
Next, immerse yourself in the truly unique natural beauty of Pamukkale. Witness the surreal landscape shaped by calcite-laden waters, petrified waterfalls, and terraced basins. You'll have the incredible opportunity to walk on the stunning white travertines and even swim in the ancient Roman pool, with its warm, emerald-clear waters maintained at a constant 36°C.
After our guided exploration, you'll have approximately 3 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll along the white cliffs, relax in Cleopatra's famous thermal pool, or delve deeper into the historical remains of the ancient site.
To refuel, we'll head to a charming local restaurant in the nearby village of Pamukkale for a delicious open-buffet lunch. Our tour concludes with a visit to an Onyx Factory, where you'll learn about the intricate process of transforming this beautiful, mineral-rich stone into exquisite works of art—a specialty of the region.
