Day Trip to Pamukkale & Hierapolis with Transfer from Bodrum
Description
It is quite a long tour. We set off at 06:00 in the morning, depending on the intensity of the traffic program, it can last until 21:00 in the evening. Experience the geological wonder of Pamukkale and the ruined city of Hierapolis on this day trip from Bodrum. Witness the spectacular white terraces and pools of Pamukkale, known as ‘Cotton Castle’ to the Turks, which have been formed by the calcium of cascading hot springs. Then, explore Hierapolis, a Greco-Roman city built near the springs. View its colonnaded roads, theater and necropolis, and perhaps swim in Pamukkale’s modern thermal pools or Roman-built Cleopatra’s Pool (own expense). An included lunch adds an extra enjoyable touch.

Reviews(1)
The bus ride was very pleasant. We could have skipped the stops at the onyx and leather shops and devoted more time to the actual site and to the ruins of Hierapolis. Also, this is not a guided tour. We were left on our own once we got to Pamukkale. The guide provided served a very nice bus conductor. The included lunch was the absolute worst we’ve had so far in Turkey, and we’ve been here over a week. The only reason I’d recommend this tour is that it eliminates the need for driving oneself from Bodrum to Pumakkale.
