Kusadasi: Pamukkale & Hierapolis Day Trip With Lunch & Hotel Transfer

This was the highlight of our Turkey vacation! The travertines were even more breathtaking in person like walking on clouds. Our guide, Aylin, brought Hierapolis to life with her engaging stories. The lunch was delicious with plenty of vegetarian options. The bus was comfortable and the schedule perfect enough time to explore but not rushed. Worth the early start!

Pamukkale is truly unique and worth the long drive. The terraces were crowded but still magical. Hierapolis was fascinating though I wish we had more free time there. Lunch was decent but basic. Our guide spoke good English and kept things interesting during the journey. Bring good walking shoes and a swimsuit if you want to dip in the thermal pools.

The terraces were stunning but very slippery our teens loved it but we had to be careful. The ancient city was interesting but our kids got bored during long explanations. Lunch was okay but not much variety. The 3 hour each way drive was tough on the family. Beautiful place but maybe better for adults than families.

As an archaeology student, I was blown away by Hierapolis! The necropolis is one of the best preserved I've seen. Pamukkale's terraces were surreal like another planet. Our guide's knowledge was impressive and lunch was authentic Turkish cuisine. Long day but every minute was worth it for these UNESCO sites.

Amazing day with friends! The white terraces made for incredible photos. We loved soaking in the thermal pools. Hierapolis was interesting though. Lunch was tasty but service was slow. The bus had good AC which was essential in summer. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen!

Pamukkale is beautiful but very touristy. The terraces were crowded and you have to walk barefoot which was uncomfortable. Hierapolis was impressive but we felt rushed through it. Lunch was average. The guide was knowledgeable but hard to hear sometimes. Worth seeing but manage your expectations about crowds.

The kids were fascinated by Pamukkale, but the no shoes rule was difficult for little feet. Lunch was wonderful. The bus ride back was tiring. It's a beautiful place, but contrary to what the brochure says, it's not ideal for young families. But we enjoyed it.
