Overview

Once you're in Turkey, there are a few places you simply must visit, and Pamukkale is at the top of that list. The Bodrum Pamukkale Tour begins with a convenient pick-up service from your hotel.

Our journey starts with a 1.5-hour drive from Bodrum to the city of Muğla, where we will take a comfort break at a local restaurant. From there, we will continue on a 2-hour bus ride to Pamukkale. During this relaxing drive, our professional  guide will provide interesting information about our destination and Pamukkale itself. Upon arrival, we will explore the magnificent ruins of Hierapolis. This ancient city, built atop hot springs that once served as a spa, is home to the remains of baths, temples, and other Greek monuments, such as the Theatre and the Temple of Apollo. You'll experience a glimpse into the foundation of one of the greatest empires in human history.

Pamukkale is a truly unique and special place in the world, where natural wonders and human ingenuity come together to create something extraordinary. The landscape is shaped by calcite-laden waters, mineral-rich forests, petrified waterfalls, and terraced basins, forming a breathtaking and almost surreal sight. You’ll have the opportunity to walk on the stunning white travertines and swim in the ancient Roman pool, with its warm, emerald-clear waters at a constant 36°C.

After the guided tour of Pamukkale, you’ll have around 3 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. You can stroll along the white cliffs of Pamukkale, relax in Cleopatra's famous thermal pool, or spend more time among the historical remains of the ancient site.

At the end of your visit, we’ll head to the nearby village of Pamukkale for a delicious open-buffet lunch at a charming local restaurant. After lunch, we’ll visit the Onyx Factory, where you’ll learn how this beautiful, mineral-rich stone is processed and transformed into exquisite works of art, a regional specialty of Turkey.

This tour is a must if you’re staying nearby! Pamukkale is even more stunning in real life than in photos. The trip was well organised, and Ayla, our guide, made sure everything ran smoothly. She had lots of local knowledge and gave us some great tips. It’s a long day but totally worth it for the scenery and history combined.

I enjoyed the tour overall, especially the historical parts of Hierapolis and walking along the travertines. Merve was helpful and shared useful background on each stop. The only part that didn’t click for me was the wine tasting just not my thing, and I felt like it interrupted the flow of the day. That said, everything else was well managed and worth the cost.

Everything was perfectly timed and well planned. From hotel pickup to drop-off, the day flowed effortlessly. Derya was friendly and gave just the right amount of information before letting us explore the ruins and terraces at our own pace. The white pools were spectacular, and Hierapolis had a lot more to offer than I expected. This is a great day trip if you want to cover a lot without feeling overwhelmed.

Our Pamukkale day trip was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Elif did a fantastic job leading us through both the travertines and ancient ruins. She’s clearly very knowledgeable and managed to keep things moving without feeling rushed. Lunch was simple but filling, and the wine tasting at the end added a nice touch. An excellent tour if you want a stress-free way to explore this fascinating place.

The trip was well worth it for adults stunning views, historical sights, and a nice vibe overall. The only downside is that it wasn’t particularly engaging for children, apart from the warm pools. Nazlı was cheerful and helpful throughout. If you're traveling with younger kids, just be prepared for a slower pace. For grown-ups though, it was a lovely day out

I’d only ever read about Pamukkale in textbooks, so finally seeing it in person was incredible. The travertines and ruins exceeded my expectations. Esra gave a good summary of the site’s history, though the tour felt a bit short I would've liked more time to look around. Still, a unique experience that I’d recommend to anyone visiting Turkey.

This was a top-notch day trip! Zeynep was absolutely wonderful professional, kind, and clearly passionate about the area. She gave us fascinating insights into the long history of Pamukkale and the Roman settlement above. The museum with its ancient artifacts was a bonus. We loved the natural pools, and the views were breathtaking. The whole experience felt like a perfect blend of nature and history.

We had such a great time visiting Pamukkale and Hierapolis. The scenery was surreal the white terraces were beautiful, and the warm thermal waters felt amazing. Walking through the ancient ruins was like stepping back in time. Selin, our guide, was warm and informative, always open to questions and made sure we felt included. She kept the group on track without rushing anyone. A truly memorable day and a highlight of our trip.
