About this experience
Discover two of Turkey’s most magical places in one unforgettable day — the dazzling white terraces of Pamukkale and the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. Leaving early from Antalya in an air-conditioned coach, you travel in comfort as your friendly English-speaking guide fills you in on history along the way. Once you arrive, you’ll stroll barefoot across Pamukkale’s famous calcium terraces, soak in warm thermal waters, and admire the dreamy landscape. Then wander through Hierapolis’s Roman-era ruins — from old baths and temples to a grand necropolis — immersing yourself in the region’s rich past. You’ll also enjoy a delicious open-buffet lunch and have a few hours of free time to explore, swim, or simply relax before heading back to Antalya.
