Hierapolis ("Holy City") was an ancient Greco-Roamn city in Phrygia located on hot springs in South West Anatolia. Its ruins are adjacent to maodern Pamukkale.
Hierapolis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hot springs there have been used as a spa since the 2nd Century B.C.E. and people came to soothe their ailments with many of them retiring or dying here.
Some of the highlights; the large necropolis is filled with sarcophagi, the main street with the gates and latrines, cathedral, the theatre and St. Philips tomb. The hot springs causing cascades which are called the Cotton Castle. Because of the distance we have to leave Antalya early and return late but its worth it to experince this wonderful place.

Amazing sites and very friendly crew
Great trip with amazing value. The lunch was very delicious and Dilek, our guide, was really knowledgeable about the site and had great humour. The Pamukkale pools were amazing just note that most of them would be dry by design. The drive is quite long but that is unavoidable. The bus had great AC and arrived just on time to pick us from the hotel lobby. I liked that they called when they didn't find me there. Overall great trip and highly recommended.

Very nice and wonderful
Pamukkale was beautiful, but our guide Dilek made the trip unforgettable. He explained everything clearly, shared great tips, and brought the history of Hierapolis to life. Thanks to her , we enjoyed the terraces and ruins so much more. Highly recommended!

The Best Guide You Could Ask For – Hasan Demir!
I had the pleasure of touring with Hasan Demir, and I can honestly say he made my trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, Hasan was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for history and culture really brought each location to life, and he was always happy to answer questions and adapt the tour to suit our interests.
What really stood out was Hasan’s attention to detail—he made sure we were comfortable, well-informed, and having fun every step of the way. His local insights and storytelling added a personal touch that you just can’t get from a guidebook.
If you’re looking for a guide who is both engaging and deeply knowledgeable, Hasan is the one. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting the area—he turned a great trip into an exceptional one!

Amazing views, very well planned and every detail being taking care off!
Everything was very well planned!!! I went with my 2 teenage daughters and my husband... Every detail was taken care off. The agency kept us informed in advance of who was going to pick us up, and they were right on time! Hassan told us the history with nice details and he was being sure that we were confortable all the time!! It was sunny and hot and he had umbrellas to borrow us... and the driver (don't remember his name) had the car ready cold for us when we arrived ans handling us very cold water!! Views were incredible and the whole experience amazing!!
