Pamukkale means Cotton Castle and you won't be disappointed. Take off your shoes and walk on the wonderful Travertine rock. It looks like snow, but it really is rock. Hierapolis is a treasure that needs to be explored. Allow at least two to three hours for a visit here. Three if you include a swim in Cleopatra's pool. Add two... more

Hierapolis was a total surprise, booked as part of a two day package from Bodrum we visited Ephesus then onto Pamukkale. There was no mention of the city in the trip dossier, it's location and the splendour of the buildings in this quiet, serene and beautiful place were a wonderful surprise. Most tour guides stopped at the cafe and warm... more

Pamukkale means cotton castle in the Turkish language, and is named for the hot springs, travertines, and terraces of carbonate minerals that measure around 9000 feet long, and 500 feet high upon which the ancient city of Hierapolis was built. Visable from up to 20 miles away and a UNESCO world heritage site to boot, this natural wonder of the... more

On vacation in Oludeniz, my wife & I signed up for this tour. It's a bit of a long bus ride, but well worth it! "She who must be obeyed" had her heart set on walking all the way down Pamukkale. I headed for the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. This is a good tourist site with 3 places: The geology... more

In late April 2007 we drove from Gocek to Pamukkale. We went the "scenic" route via Fethiye, Uzumulu and Cameli - mountainous and beautiful scenery, most amaziing geology, nobody - not even a goat! - on the road (except for a bus which somewhat worringly suddenly appeared and seemed to take a different route to us at a diversion for... more
